Professional ESD Services Include:

Grounded ESD provides third-party ESD program verification, diagnostics, and documentation for manufacturers operating in regulated and high-reliability environments. 

Our services are designed to help you:

• Verify ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliance
• Identify hidden ESD risks and real event activity
• Strengthen audit defensibility
• Reduce product failures, escapes, and costly rework

We go beyond checklist audits by using diagnostic tools and real-world measurements to show how your ESD controls are actually performing on the floor.

Independent, on-site evaluations of your ESD control program, including: 

• Administrative program review
• Grounding, flooring, and personnel verification
• Process and workstation evaluations
• Environmental and ionization performance checks
• Findings, risk ranking, and corrective recommendations

You receive clear, defensible documentation suitable for customers, internal quality, and regulatory audits. 

Verification of ESD control items and systems per ESD TR53, including:

• Worksurface, floor, and point-to-ground resistance
• Wrist strap and footwear/flooring systems
• Ground continuity and common point grounds
• Ionization performance (offset voltage and decay)

Testing is performed using calibrated, industry-recognized instrumentation.

For facilities experiencing unexplained failures or intermittent issues:

• Detection of real ESD events during operations
• Environmental charge and field measurements
• Process and handling risk identification
• Data-driven root-cause analysis

This service helps uncover risks that traditional compliance checks miss.

Verification of ionizer and environmental controls, including: 

• Charge decay and balance testing
• Field and static charge measurements
• Evaluation of ionization coverage and effectiveness 
• Recommendations for stabilization and improvement

For companies needing continued confidence and stability:

• Periodic verification and re-testing
• Audit preparation support
• Documentation updates
• ESD control program stabilization guidance

  End-to-end support for building or upgrading Electrostatic Protected Areas.

• Bench and cart setup with proper grounding architecture
• Worksurface and floor material selection and installation support
• Continuous monitor installation and configuration
• EPA signage, labeling, and visual controls
• Cable management and ergonomic considerations 

Grounded ESD develops and updates formal ESD Control Program Plans required for ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliance, customer audits, and regulated manufacturing environments. 

This service is ideal for companies that: 

• Are pursuing S20.20 certification
• Have failed or struggled with customer audits
• Have outdated or incomplete ESD documentation
• Need defensible, audit-ready program records

What's Included

• Review of your current ESD controls and procedures
• Gap analysis against ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements
• Creation or full rewrite of your ESD Control Program Plan
• Defined roles, responsibilities, and training requirements
• Grounding, ionization, and verification process descriptions
• Compliance metrics and recordkeeping requirements
• Audit-ready formatting and structure

Why This Matters

A written ESD Control Program is not optional in regulated or high-reliability environments. It is the foundation document that customers and auditors use to judge your program.

We do not provide templates - we build plans that reflect how your facility actually operates, so your documentation is defensible, usable, and audit-ready.

• Grounded ESD provides specialized ESD program verification and diagnostics for defense contractors, aerospace manufacturers, and government-regulated facilities.

This service is designed for environments where audit defensibility, traceability, and risk prevention are mandatory, not optional.

What's Included

• ANSI/ESD S20.20 program verification for regulated programs
• ESD TR53 verification testing with calibrated instrumentation
• Grounding, flooring, and personnel control system validation
• Ionization performance and environmental charge analysis
• Detection of real ESD events in production and lab areas
• Process and handling risk assessments for sensitive assemblies

Why This Matters in Defense & Aerospace

• Customer and government audits demand objective, third-party data
• Failures can result in program delays, rework, or contract risk
• Intermittent ESD damage is often invisible without diagnostic tools

We help you move from basic compliance to defensible, stable ESD control that protects mission-critical products and programs.

Typical Environments

• Defense manufacturing and test labs
• Aerospace electronics and avionics assembly
• Government research facilities
• High-reliability contract manufacturers

Grounded ESD provides specialized ESD verification and stabilization services for medical device manufacturers and cleanroom production environments, where product safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance are critical. 

Our services support facilities operating under FDA, ISO 13485, and customer audit requirements, where ESD failures can compromise device reliability and patient safety. 

What's Included

• ANSI/ESD S20.20 program verification for medical manufacturing
• ESD TR53 testing of workstations, floors, garments, and grounding systems
• Cleanroom-compatible resistance and grounding verification
• Ionization performance testing in controlled environments
• Electrostatic field and charge risk measurements in process areas
• Detection of real ESD events that may affect sensitive devices
• Process and handling risk assessments for critical assemblies

Cleanroom-Specific Focus

• Evaluation of ESD controls without compromising contamination protocols
• Verification of cleanroom flooring, garments, and personnel grounding systems
• Assessment of ionization effectiveness in low-particle, controlled airflow spaces
• Support for documentation and audit readiness in regulated environments

Why This Matters

in medical manufacturing, ESD failures may not be immediately visible, but they can lead to latent defects, field failures, and regulatory findings.

We help you move beyond basic compliance to defensible, stable ESD control that protects both your products and your quality system.
