Define the buyer decision<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">The real decision is not whether a label sounds ESD-safe. It is whether the proposed configuration can support the defined work without breaking the buyer&#8217;s control process. For this article, the recurring trigger is a load request that states only a total weight and omits shelf layout, board protection, route conditions, and verification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Write the decision in one sentence: identify the user, the material or item handled, the location or route, the status change, and the evidence required before release. That sentence gives engineering and purchasing the same review target.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:42px 0 14px;scroll-margin-top:96px\" id=\"part-2-map-the-process-conditions\">Part 2. Map the process conditions<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Map the task before selecting a configuration. Note what arrives, where it waits or moves, who touches it, what is visible to the next operator, and what changes at a handoff. A short observation of the real work is more useful than a broad catalog comparison.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px;background:#f5f8fa;text-align:left\">Review point<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px;background:#f5f8fa;text-align:left\">Buyer question<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px;background:#f5f8fa;text-align:left\">Record<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Task<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">What must happen at this position?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Written operating purpose<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Interface<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Who hands off and receives?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Named owner and status<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">ESD context<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Which buyer rule applies?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Program revision and acceptance rule<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Evidence<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">What proves the quoted item?<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d9e1e8;padding:9px 12px\">Test method and traceable record<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 style=\"margin:42px 0 14px;scroll-margin-top:96px\" id=\"part-3-separate-category-information-from-configuration-evidence\">Part 3.
