EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 6356 testing. ISO 6356 specifies a method for evaluating the electrostatic tendency of textile and laminate floor coverings under controlled conditions. Because the potential moisture generated will vary with shoe materials, walking surface, and behavior of individuals, the values generated by this test will not necessarily replicate the actual field experience, but will provide a relative comparison of the performance of different surfaces.
For classification purposes and in conflict situations, the measurement procedure specified in ISO 6356 may be used under controlled conditions specified in the relevant classification standard or agreed between the disputed parties. There may be situations where measurements are required under uncontrolled conditions, for example on-site measurements on installed floor coverings. The principle of measurement using equipment specified in ISO 6356 can be used to measure with specified standard shoes or with end-use specific shoes.
For the purposes of the ISO 6356 standard, the terms and definitions given in the ISO 2424 standard are valid.
Briefly, this standard is referenced to evaluate the electrostatic tendency of all types of textile floor coverings.
The standard in question mainly adheres to certain principles. The difference in electrical potential relative to the earth's potential (zero) generated by a walking person is used and measured to measure a person's risk of experiencing static shock discomfort from in-service use of textile flooring.
These measurements are based on the following criteria:
Electrostatics is the study of electric fields in static equilibrium and has many practical electrostatic applications. Technically, atoms are made up of tiny particles called neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus, and electrons revolve around the nucleus. A static charge is created when two surfaces touch each other and electrons move from one object to another.
