ANSI/ESD S20.20

ANSI/ESD S20.20 is a standard that provides guidelines to protect electronic components and equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can cause damage or failures. It establishes how to create controlled environments through proper grounding, using ESD-safe tools and materials, and implementing procedures that minimize static buildup. The goal is to ensure the safe handling, storage, and transportation of sensitive electronic devices, reducing the risk of static-related damage and downtime. Essentially, it offers a systematic approach for industries to manage static electricity and safeguard their electronic assets effectively.
