This is a recommendation to start an RFQ review, not a statement that a particular listed model has a lock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Do not default to a specific model or access configuration from a picture, cover option, or adjacent article. Ask Sanwei to confirm the selected SKU, requested lock configuration, compatible accessories, commercial terms, and sample path in writing before committing the requirement.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:26px 0;text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:640px;width:100%;height:auto;display:block;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px\" alt=\"ESD box product family for shared EPA RFQ review\" src=\"https:\/\/swesd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d3fdd345-a218-4c10-8a93-c1287915c2aa.webp\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Send the process summary, target footprint, label fields, access workflow, and buyer-defined acceptance criteria through <a href=\"https:\/\/swesd.com\/fr\/contact-us\/\">Contact Sanwei<\/a> for quotation review.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:42px 0 14px\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">What is an ESD box with lock used for?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">It can be specified for shared EPA storage when the team needs to restrict access to defined ESD-sensitive material while keeping ownership, status, and handover visible. Confirm the requested lock configuration against the selected SKU in the RFQ.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">Are lockable ESD boxes suitable for shared EPAs?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">They may be suitable when the access rule supports the EPA workflow and does not block necessary replenishment or release. The buyer should define who may open the box, how custody changes between shifts, and what is visible on the label.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">Does a lock replace an ESD-control procedure?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">No. It can restrict physical access, but it does not establish electrical acceptance, grounded handling, traceability, or the site\u2019s EPA rules.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">Who should control access to a shared ESD box?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Assign a named role rather than an undefined group. The procedure should also identify the handover recipient and the approved exception path when the normal owner is unavailable.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">Can Sanwei supply a particular lock type?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">The cited ESD Box product-family page does not identify a lock configuration. Describe the required configuration in the RFQ and request written confirmation for the selected SKU.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">What should be labeled on a restricted-access box?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Use fields that support the workflow, such as a box ID, owner role, material status, location, and revision or date field. Keep the content aligned with the buyer\u2019s security policy.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">What ESD evidence should be requested?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Request the quoted SKU, material identification, buyer-relevant electrical evidence and test conditions, and traceability to the reviewed sample or supplied lot.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:28px 0 12px\">What should be confirmed on a sample?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7\">Check the requested configuration against the selected SKU, box fit, normal operation, label visibility, handover workflow, and the ESD evidence required by the buyer\u2019s program.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:42px 0 14px\">R\u00e9f\u00e9rences<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 18px 1.2em;line-height:1.7\">\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/webstore.iec.ch\/en\/publication\/62391\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IEC 61340-5-1 \u2014 Electrostatics: protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esdassociation.org\/standards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ANSI\/ESD S20.20 \u2014 ESD Association standards information<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ESD box with lock can support shared EPA storage only when its access requirement is defined with the operating process.
