ESD MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS
All measurement values for the system stated in the System Data Sheet (except those referring to proof statements) were measured using the following equipment and ambient conditions:
| Condition or Equipment | Specification |
| Size of ESD-footwear | 42 (EU) (UK: 8; US: 8.5) |
| Test person weight | 90 kg |
| Ambient conditions | +23 °C / 50 % |
| Measuring device for measuring resistance to ground | Metriso 2000 or 3000 (Warmbier) or comparable |
| Surface resistance probe | Carbon Rubber electrode. Weight: 2.50 kg |
| Rubber pad hardness | Shore A 60 (±10) |
| Measuring device for measuring body voltage generation | Walking Test Kit WT 5000 (Warmbier) or comparable |
Application
Ambient Air Temperature
| Minimum | +10 °C |
| Maximum | +30 °C |
Relative Air Humidity
80 % r.h. max.
Dew Point
Beware of condensation. The substrate and uncured applied product must be at least +3 °C above dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or blooming on the surface of the applied product. Low temperatures and high humidity conditions increase the probability of blooming.
Substrate Temperature
| Minimum | +10 °C |
| Maximum | +30 °C |
Substrate Moisture Content
< 4 % parts by weight (Sika® Tramex moisture meter)
No rising moisture (ASTM D4263, polyethylene sheet)
The substrate must be visibly dry with no standing water.

Note: These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level, wastage or any other variations. Apply product to a test area to calculate the exact consumption for the specific substrate conditions and proposed application equipment.
APPLICATION
INSTALLATION OF EARTHING POINTS
Refer to Sika Method Statement: Mixing & Application of Flooring Systems.
Number of earthing connections per room: Minimum of 2 earthing connections. The optimum number of earthing connections depends on the local conditions and must be specified on drawings or other contract documentation.
ESD CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS
Recommended number of conductivity measurements is specified in the following table:
| Ready applied area | Number of measurements |
| < 10 m² | 6 |
| ≥ 10 m² and < 100 m² | 10 to 20 |
| ≥ 100 m² and < 1000 m² | 50 |
| ≥ 1000 m² and < 5000 m² | 100 |
If the measurements yield values that are outside of the agreed specification, follow these steps:
- Carry out one additional measurement within a radius of approximately 30 cm around the original measuring point.
- If the value of the new measurement meets the agreed specification, the original measurement can be disregarded. If the value of the new measurement does not meet the agreed specification, you may repeat the measurement described above, until the fulfilment of the requirements have been verified. If the requirements cannot be verified, contact Sika technical services.
