Service Overview
ESD Consulting from Propack Electronics goes beyond the audit — it provides the strategic architecture for your ESD control programme. Whether you are building a new facility, scaling production, seeking ANSI/ESD S20.20 certification, or reducing a persistent yield-loss problem, our consultants bring 24+ years of hands-on experience across electronics manufacturing, defence, automotive, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Engagements are scoped to your specific situation — ranging from a single-day strategic workshop to a multi-month programme development and implementation support retainer. Every engagement is led by a named senior consultant with deep technical knowledge of ESD physics, measurement methodology, and Indian and international regulatory requirements.
Consulting Service Areas
EPA Design Strategy
Optimal EPA layout, grounding architecture, zoning strategy, and material specification for new-build or retrofitted production floors — ensuring S20.20 compliance from day one.
ESD Control Plan Development
Writing or reviewing your ESD Control Plan document — the master specification required by ANSI/ESD S20.20 that defines your EPA limits, testing frequencies, and responsibilities.
Certification Roadmap
A structured programme leading to ANSI/ESD S20.20 or IEC 61340-5-1 certification — identifying gaps, sequencing remediation, preparing documentation, and coordinating third-party audit.
Supply Chain ESD Requirements
Defining ESD packaging and handling requirements for your suppliers. Reviewing and qualifying supplier EPAs. Drafting ESD requirements into supplier quality agreements.
Yield Loss Root Cause Analysis
Systematic investigation of unexplained yield loss or latent failures attributable to ESD. Combines EPA measurement, process mapping, and failure analysis data to identify the root discharge event.
ESD Programme Management
Ongoing retainer-based programme management — maintaining your ESD Control Plan, managing periodic audits, reviewing non-conformances, and representing ESD compliance to customers and certifying bodies.
Consulting Engagement Process
