Identify the Gaps

  •    What current industry trends demand new ESD or reliability standards?
  •    What existing test methods are no longer sufficient?
  •    What gaps exist in today’s ESDA standards portfolio?
  •    Are there opportunities for joint standards with organizations such as IEEE, IPC, JEDEC, AEC, EMC groups, or others?
