Does a facility need a tailoring statement relating to Product Qualification Environmental Conditioning if product qualification can be done at the facility’s lowest relative humidity?
Per Section 7.3 of ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 “Organizations with facilities where the annual minimum relative humidity (RH) is above the environmental conditioning levels identified within the product qualification test method for each ESD control item can use this minimum value to qualify each item used within that facility.” If the client has objective evidence that ESD control items were tested at the facility’s lowest relative humidity, a tailoring statement is no longer required.
