Did you know there is an ESD Engineer and Technician Certification offered by The National Association of Radio and Telecommunication Engineers (NARTE).
NARTE is a worldwide, non-profit, professional telecommunications association which certifies qualified engineers and technicians in the fields of Telecommunications, Electromagnetic Compatibilty/Interference (EMC/EMI), Product Safety (PS), Electrostatic Discharge control (ESD) and Wireless Systems Installation.
I was not aware of this but 20 some years ago the certifications were by levels I through IV. I was a level III. The certification was granted by Goodyear Aerospace who usually made a habit of training their own.
If I recall it was controled by a mil-spec but but I cannot recall the number (perhaps 1636). Level IV was usually reserved for design engineers who specialized in the PC Board area and/or electronic parts.
It would not surprize me that names have changed but you cannot change the laws of physics. I will check my archives for the correct spec if you are interested.

The Mil spec is 1686 and there are 2 commercial standards, ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 and JESD 625. I've attached all of them if you want to compare them.

I also have a mil handbook that is too large to attach. I will e-mail it to anyone interested if you PM your e-mail address.
E-mail it to me and I'll upload it and provide a link to it.
