ESD Compliance Verification – does your ESD protection work as it should?

It is one thing to establish an ESD-safe area. It is quite another to ensure that the protection continues to function as intended.

ESD flooring, work surfaces, grounding, personnel grounding, and other ESD equipment each play a part in protecting sensitive electronic components. For this reason, continuous monitoring and documentation – Compliance Verification – are essential parts of a professional ESD program.

Compliance Verification is also a requirement of IEC 61340-5-1 and serves to ensure that the company's ESD control measures are functioning continuously.

What is ESD Compliance Verification?

Compliance Verification is about systematically checking whether the ESD measures implemented by the company continue to meet requirements.

This can include, among other things, checking:

• Grounding and personnel grounding
• ESD flooring and work surfaces
• Mobile equipment and shelving
• ESD packaging
• Continuous Monitoring
• ESD clothing, gloves, and finger cots
• ESD chairs
• Ionization

It is precisely these areas that Desco Europe will focus on in their upcoming training webinar.

Free webinar: Sharpen your ESD verification skills

On October 14 and 15, 2026, Desco Europe will hold a two-part webinar on Compliance Verification.

The focus here is not only on what needs to be checked but also on the measurement equipment used to validate an ESD program in accordance with IEC 61340-5-1, and how tests are performed according to the Compliance Verification test methods in IEC TS 61340-5-4.

The webinar is particularly relevant for ESD coordinators, quality managers, technicians, and others who work with ongoing control and documentation of ESD protection in electronics manufacturing.

Date: October 14 and 15, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM BST

ESD protection is not complete with the right equipment alone

An effective ESD program is not just about choosing the right products. It is also about having control over procedures, measurements, and ongoing verification.

At HIN A/S, we work with ESD solutions for professional electronics manufacturing and provide assistance with ESD protection, testing, and control. The webinar from Desco Europe is therefore a great opportunity to gain more practical knowledge about how your company's ESD program can be verified.
