With the KEINATH Consulting Services (KCS) we directly support our customers with audits, conformity checks, corrective actions for errors and planning activities, up to outsourcing services for ESD protection and soldering technology.
In an ESD audit, the use and effectiveness of ESD protective measures are checked. In an ESD audit, ESD workplaces, work processes, necessity of protective measures, effectiveness of existing ESD protective measures, packaging material, training status of personnel, inspections carried out, etc. are evaluated.
Procedure:
1. ESD consulting audit to determine the current status incl. report with metrological results and list of deficiencies.
2. Joint analysis of the report and processing of the list of deficiencies
3. ESD verification audit, if necessary with post-audit incl. report and certificate of conformity
In accordance with the IEC DIN EN 61340 series of standards relevant for ESD protection measures and according to your requirements and objectives, we check your company.
Specific concerns of your company and the definition of the affected areas or departments will be discussed with you in a preliminary meeting.
