FAQ: What is static-dissipative flooring?
Static-dissipative flooring is a type of flooring that protects sensitive electronics by transporting harmful static charges to ground. Static-dissipative flooring is often used in facilities where people rely on electronic equipment to do their jobs and the equipment is crucial to the facility’s core operation. Static-dissipative is a term, or category, within the broader category of ESD flooring. To be categorized as static-dissipative, a floor must measure ≥ 1.0 x 10E6 and <1.0 x 10E9. Measurements must be taken with an ohm meter and tests conducted according to guidelines in ANSI/ESD STM7.1. A floor that does not measure between 1.0 x 10E6 and 1.0 x 10E9 is not static dissipative.
