ELSAfloor Development of an application-ready test method for quantifying and classifying the electrostatic charge of floor coverings

Testing the electrostatic properties of floor coverings is currently executed by human walk-on methods. Depending on the floor covering to be tested, the sole materials used, the substrate and the way in which it is walked on vary. However, the limit value of 2 kV for personal exposure applies to all test methods. Due to the non-uniform and person-dependent parameters, the test results vary greatly according to the current methods and are therefore only of limited significance. Building on the findings from the project "Development of an equivalent charging method for the uniform, rapid and person-independent assessment of the electrostatic charging of floor coverings with durable reference materials-E-Statwalk", the aim is to develop an application-ready test method for quantifying and classifying the electrostatic charging of floor coverings using a mobile measuring device.
