ESD 20:20 CERTIFICATION ASSURES PRODUCT SAFETY AND VERIFIES QUALITY (DEMO)
Many private companies capitalize on the safety of their products, such as in a recently featured piece of equipment for vehicles and other machines. Last May 13, 2014, ThomasNet News shared a press release for SwiftStaticDischarge™, the filter elements that dissipate “a very low charge across both media and fluid over long periods of time to mitigate sparking.” Aside from mobile hydraulic fluids, filter elements are applied to low-conductivity oils used by other machines, such as power-generating or molding equipment

Certification implies that the manufacturer has been educated, trained, and therefore eligible to produce quality products. There are stringent requirements to be met and rigorous testing to be done when applying for certification. When a company is able to fulfill those prerequisites, their niche market can confidently purchase their goods. The increased sales opportunities and reduced liabilities definitely make certification a worthwhile investment.
Enterprises who wish to obtain the ANSI/ESD s20.20 certification should seek ISO certification services from recognized certifying bodies like International Standards Authority, Inc. Accredited by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board, the registrar can verify the product’s quality, which will be recognized globally.

“SwiftStaticDischarge™ filter elements can be used as direct replacements for most major OEM filter elements. Swift Filters maintains an extensive interchange database of over 100,000 replacement elements. Additionally, anti-static technology can be employed in custom-designed filter elements produced for original equipment manufacturers. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a common problem with modern ash-free, zinc-free hydraulic and lubricating oils. These highly-refined oils’ formulations do not contain the heavy metals of previous generation fluids. Oil passing through hydraulic or lubricating system filters can generate static charges leading to high voltage sparks from filter media to the filter’s metal support tube. These sparks can lead to oil degradation and varnish, as well as to component damage and potential explosions. Varnish in oil has a number of well-known consequences, including seized valve spools, overheated solenoids, and filter clogging.”Safety is a priority in any product commercially offered to the public. When it comes to industries that handle oil, gas, and other fuels, ensuring that the technology does not create electrical hazards like excessive electrostatic discharge is imperative. ESD 20:20 certification assures that the manufacturer complies with the industry’s safety standards and verifies the product’s globally-recognized quality.
