ESD
Biblical book, shortened
ESD is an abbreviation with several common expansions.
In electronics and manufacturing, it stands for electrostatic discharge, the sudden flow of electricity between two objects that can damage sensitive components.
All workers in the chip fabrication facility wear ESD wristbands.
In education, ESD often refers to an education service district, a regional agency that supports multiple school districts with shared services.
It may also stand for estimated ship date in commerce and logistics.
