Key Factors in Selecting Your ESD Floor
Will People Wear ESD Footwear?
This is the single most important question in ESD floor selection. Facilities where ESD footwear is required (electronics manufacturing) follow ANSI/ESD S20.20 and can use conductive flooring. Facilities where regular footwear is worn (dispatch centers, data centers) require static-dissipative flooring to prevent charge generation.
