BS EN61340-5-1 and 2 are now well established as practical working tools.
Meanwhile the next version of 61340-5-1 is under discussion at IEC, scheduled to emerge within a few years as a worldwide ESD standard, and replacing the current EN61340-5-1 as a European standard.
A team of ESD industry experts will present the programme and the guest speaker will be Dr Reinhold Gaertner of Infineon, who will discuss case studies of ESD in modern electronics manufacture and how ESD is set to remain is a very important issue for the foreseeable future.
The panel of BECA expert speakers will focus on the key requirements under the current 61340-5-1 standard and provide practical guidance on the assessment of existing facilities, including demonstrations of test methods and auditing techniques.
An assessment will also be made on how the next versions of 61340-5-1 and the User Guide 61340-5-2 are developing in response to world electronics industry needs, and some of the challenges and opportunities these documents will bring will be highlighted.
The event will provide an opportunity for those experienced in this field to update their knowledge of ESD prevention using the standards and will also help newcomers to the subject to gain an understanding of ESD prevention practice.
A discussion session will provide a forum for delegates to discuss ESD protection issues with industry experts.
