We want to test our floor but do not know the test range it should be in to pass. Can you give me some guide lines for testing our flooring? - Anonymous, Clear Lake, WI

The ESD Association’s standard ESD-DS20.20, (Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment), which references standard ANSI/ESD-S7.1, (Resistive Characterization of Materials - Floor Materials), recommends that the floor resistance be less than 1x10⁹ ohms when tested with an approved megohmeter at 100 volts and with two 5 lb ESD test probes placed 3 feet apart. Our megohmeter, can test within this range and includes the proper 5 lb probes for testing.
