ESD Auditing and Facility Evaluation
Developing and implementing an ESD control program is an obvious step in reducing costs and improving quality. What might not be so obvious is the need to continually review, audit, analyze, feedback, improve, identify ROI and justify the savings realized. Like training, regular auditing and facility evaluation is a key factor in the successful management of ESD control programs. Through our partnership with Dangelmayer Associates, L.L.C., MicroStat Laboratories provides complete ESD auditing and facility evaluation services to help you identify problems and provide the information you need for corrective action and continuous improvement.

Preparation for ANSI/ESD S20.20 Facility Certification
If you are considering certification to the ESD Association's ESD Control Program Standard, ANSI/ESD S20.20, we can help by 1) Assessing your current ESD programs and controls and making recommendations needed to meet ANSI/ESD S20.20 and 2) Conducting pre-certification audits of your ANSI/ESD S20.20 programs in preparation for a certification audit. To download a copy of ANSI/ESD S20.20, go to the ESD Association web site.
