Measuring floors, workbenches and grounding elements and verifying that operations comply with ESD protection standards.
An ESD audit verifies whether the ESD measures you have in place actually work in day-to-day operation. We measure floors, workbenches and grounding elements and check the setup of your ESD program against the requirements of ČSN EN 61340-5-1.
The audit doesn't look at individual products, but at the whole system. Protection only works when the floor, workstation, grounding, people and rules all connect together — and when someone checks them regularly.
We verify the resistance of floors, worktops, mats and chairs against the required values.
We check the grounding points, cables and connections between the individual elements of the workstation.
We verify the functionality of wrist straps and footwear as well as the way people are tested before entering the EPA.
We check the boundaries of the protected zone, the marking and the conditions for entering the area.
We review the ESD program, internal rules, measurement records and inspection intervals.
We compare the results with the requirements of ČSN EN 61340-5-1 and flag any deviations.
Individual elements may be fine on their own, and yet the protection still doesn't work — a missing connection, a worn wrist strap or a rule nobody follows is enough. That's why the audit measures the entire chain, from the floor through the workstation to EPA entry, and shows where the weak point is.
After installation, we verify that the individual elements really meet the required parameters.
A regular audit shows how the condition of the workstation changes through wear and everyday operation.
We prepare a report and supporting documents that demonstrate your compliance with the requirements.
Based on the size of your operation and your requirements, we determine what exactly will be measured.
We measure floors, workbenches and grounding elements and verify procedures and documentation.
You receive the measurement results, any deviations found and a proposal for the next steps.
Want to know what the standard actually requires and what that means for your operation?
Standards and requirementsWe tailor every audit to your operation. Describe your workstation or your audit request and we'll agree on the scope of measurement, the deliverables and the next steps — and, if needed, recommend suitable equipment too.
