ESD協會標準(pdf 18)

ESD Association standards and publications are designed to serve the
public interest by eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers
and purchasers, facilitating the interchangeability and improvement of
products and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining the
proper product for his particular needs. The existence of such standards
and publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or nonmember
of the Association from manufacturing or selling products not
conforming to such standards and publications. Nor shall the fact that a
standard or publication is published by the Association preclude its
voluntary use by non-members of the Association whether the document
is to be used either domestically or internationally. Recommended
standards and publications are adopted by the ESD Association in
accordance with the ANSI Patent policy.
Interpretation of ESD Association Standards: The interpretation of
standards in-so-far as it may relate to a specific product or manufacturer
is a proper matter for the individual company concern and cannot be
undertaken by any person acting for the ESD Association. The ESD
Association Standards Chairman may make comments limited to an
explanation or clarification of the technical language or provisions in a
standard, but not related to its application to specific products and
manufacturers. No other person is authorized to comment on behalf of
the ESD Association on any ESD Association Standard.
