Joseph Federico Announces NJMETs 26th Year Membership with ESD: Electrostatic Discharge Association

March 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Joseph Federico, NJ MET Vice President, announced the laboratories’ 26th renewal of their membership in the Electrostatic Discharge Association for 2012.

“Over the years, our laboratory and engineering staff has taken tremendous pride in the practice of the proper ESD procedures per DOD-STD-1686, DOD-HDBK-263 and ESD 20.20 when handling packages and component at ESD stations throughout our work environment,” said Joseph Federico.  Mr. Federico also serves as Director of Operations at NJ MET, supervising the engineers and engineering assistants at NJMET’s Clifton New Jersey laboratory.

“From the moment components arrive at our site to the moment they leave our lab, components are handled strictly according to ESD procedures,” Joseph Federico added.
NJ MET provides professional electronic component testing to the Commercial, Military, Aerospace, Industrial and Automotive fields worldwide. Its state of the art Mission Imposter® Counterfeit Components Detection Process identifies counterfeit or cloned products.  NJ MET also provides consulting and testing services to the pharmaceutical, medical device and general commercial industries.  You can visit the NJ MET web site at http://www.njmetmtl.com for a full list of their testing services.  NJ MET's main lab and corporate headquarters is located in Clifton, New Jersey, with sales offices in Denver and London and a lab in Hong Kong.

Founded in 1982, the ESD Association is a professional voluntary association dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of electrostatic discharge (ESD) avoidance.  From fewer than 100 members, the Association has grown to more than 2,000 members throughout the world.  The association is chartered to expand ESD awareness through standards development, educational programs, local chapters, publications, tutorials, certification, and symposia.

Although founded and headquartered in the United States, the ESD Association has a strong international flavor. Its members come from more than 30 countries worldwide.  They serve on Association Standards Committees, present technical papers at the annual EOS/ESD Symposium, and provide the communication links with similar organizations in other countries.

The Association has established both formal and informal relationships with similar organizations in various countries.  The formal relationships include the Reliability Center of Japan, Productivity Standards Board (PSB) in Singapore, Electronic Industry Association of Japan (EIAJ), ESD Forum of Germany, ESREF in Europe, and ABRICEM in Brazil.
