Abstract

In this work, measurements are given of ohmic resistances in samples of fitted anti-static flooring. The measurement procedures were based on the relevant regulations DIN 51953 and DIN 53482. The measurement values that are shown concern various types of aged anti-static flooring that is commonly found and used in intensive care facilities such as operating theatres, extra care treatment rooms, areas with Computer Tomography systems, etc. Furthermore it presents measurements of new types of anti-static flooring for reasons of comparison. All results are presented in table form and are analysed in detail. The results of all the measurements of this exercise taken into consideration, an attempt is also made to interpret the phenomena that lead to the reduction of conductivity in these materials, and subsequently how these phenomena can be prevented.
