LPR 8739.21, LANGLEY PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS: LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER (LaRC) PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES FOR ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) CONTROL OF ESD-SENSITIVE (ESDS) DEVICES (13 APR 2011)

LPR 8739.21, LANGLEY PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS: LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER (LaRC) PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES FOR ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) CONTROL OF ESD-SENSITIVE (ESDS) DEVICES (13 APR 2011)., The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) quality requirements for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) safety and control are contained in ANSI/ESD S20.20, ESD Association Standard for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control Program for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment (Excluding Electrically Initiated Explosive Devices). This NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) Procedural Requirement (LPR) sets the standard for the development of an ESD Control Program Plan (CPP) for all projects, or any portion of any external project, where the LaRC has the responsibility to build and handle ESD Sensitive (ESDS) hardware. This LPR describes the responsibilities and requirements for establishing and maintaining an ESD CPP that meets or exceeds the ESD Association (ESDA) ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements, and provides specific instructions pertaining to ESD standards related to personnel, laboratories, tools, equipment, training, and safety.
