Abstract :
The newest ESD (electrostatic discharge) test standards are considered. They correct many problems that existed in previous standards. Care has been taken to harmonize new standards developed for the USA, Europe, and the rest of the world. As a result, it is possible to meet the new IEC, ANSI, and ECMA test requirements by using just one ESD test procedure that includes a simulation of personnel ESD and a simulation of furniture ESD.<>
