Harry,
Yes, you have to pick your battles. :-) We've done the same thing, it is
sometimes quicker to change a procedure than to argue the validity.
I remember an auditor not liking an ESD setup, regarding the VCP. I was
injecting on the same side of the VCP that the ground lead was attached. The
auditor stated something about the current path needs to cross the coupling
plane for it to be a valid setup. There was no wording in the standard to that
effect, but the example setup picture showed it that way. The ground lead,
IMHO, is just a bleeder circuit to bring the VCP back to 0v before the next
discharge, so it doesn't matter where it is attached. Now, in the latest
version of the standard, one of the example setups show the lead on the same
side as the ESD gun. I feel vindicated. :-)

Hi Derek,
I fully agree with your sentiments. The deficiency was objected to the
accreditation body but it was quicker to satisfy the auditor's whims rather
than engage in an elongated discussion about the rights and wrongs......
Mea culpa - I never did follow up with the accreditation body - simply
because there were more pressing things to take care of and the problem was
fixed; well, until the next audit! <ht
