Opening with an introductory
section covering the Basics of Static Electricity, the new handbook
closely parallels the structure of the S20.20 standard. The other
three sections of the handbook cover Personnel Safety, Administrative
Requirements, and Technical Requirements for an ESD control program.
These three sections directly correspond to the three major sections
of the standard, making the handbook an easy guide to establishing
ESD control programs that conform to S20.20.
Like the standard, the new handbook concentrates on preventing damage
from electrostatic discharges greater than or equal to 100 volts human
body model (HBM).
In addition to the reorganization and change in emphasis, content,
and references have been revised and updated to reflect new technologies
and new standards. |
