The term auditor may be used in different ways, for clarity:

For Compliance Verification Technicians (personnel who conduct compliance verification measurements), the ESDA has recently released the ‘[ESD Compliance Verification Technician](https://www.esda.org/certification/eosesd-association-esd-compliance-verification-certification-to-tr53/)’ certification.

For ESD Control Program Auditors (personnel who evaluate an ESD Control Program’s compliance to the standard), the ESDA has released the ‘[ESD Control Program Auditor](https://www.esda.org/certification/esd-control-program-auditor-certification/)’ certification.
