ESD Auditing Services

An effective ESD Control Programme cannot rely on assumption—it must be verified. Regular, structured ESD auditing is essential to ensure your Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPAs), procedures, and documentation remain fully compliant with BS EN 61340-5-1:2024.

At Teknis, our fully ESDA-certified ESD technicians deliver comprehensive ESD Audits designed to provide clarity, accountability, and measurable compliance. Whether as a standalone compliance review or as part of a wider technical support package, our audits provide a detailed assessment of both procedural and physical ESD controls.

What Our ESD Audits Cover

Our structured audit process typically includes:

Documentation & Programme Review

  • Assessment of your formal ESD Control Programme Plan.
  • Verification of Product Qualification Plans in line with 2024 updates.
  • Review of training records and competency tracking.
  • Evaluation of Compliance Verification schedules and procedures.

Physical Compliance Verification

  • Measurement of resistance-to-ground (Rg) and resistance-point-to-point (Rp-p) of worksurfaces, flooring, and grounding systems.
  • Personnel grounding verification, including wrist straps and footwear systems.
  • Assessment of ionisation performance where applicable.
  • Inspection of EPA signage, zoning, and boundary controls.
  • Review of packaging, handling, and storage practices for ESDS items.

Process & Operational Review

  • Observation of working practices within the EPA.
  • Identification of high-risk behaviours or procedural gaps.
  • Evaluation of insulator management in line with updated standard requirements.

Detailed Reporting & Action Plans

Following completion of the audit, Teknis provides a comprehensive written report including:

  • Clear pass/fail criteria aligned to BS EN 61340-5-1:2024.
  • Identified non-conformances and risk-ranked findings.
  • Practical, prioritised corrective-action recommendations.
  • Photographic evidence where appropriate.
  • Executive summary for senior management review.

These reports provide quality managers with robust, traceable documentation suitable for ISO 9001, IATF, aerospace, medical, and defence sector audits.

Why Regular ESD Auditing Matters

Even well-established ESD programmes can drift from compliance over time due to process changes, staff turnover, environmental variation, or evolving standards. Routine independent audits ensure:

  • Continued compliance with BS EN 61340-5-1:2024.
  • Reduced risk of latent or catastrophic ESD damage.
  • Increased confidence during customer or third-party inspections.
  • Continuous improvement of static control processes.

Our approach is practical and collaborative-focused, not just on identifying gaps, but on helping you close them efficiently and sustainably.

Whether you require an annual compliance audit, a pre-certification readiness review, or a full programme gap analysis, Teknis provides the technical authority and industry experience to safeguard your ESD-sensitive operations.
