17、ed or nished type intended for use in hospital operating rooms, arsenals, and other locations where it is necessary to avoid the accumulation of static electricity. 1.2 These requirements do not cover slip-resistance characteristics of electrically conductive ooring. 1.3 These requirements do not co

18、ver electrically conductive equipment and materials for use in ammable anesthetizing locations. 1.4 Although certain cleaning operations are necessary to maintain the inherent conductivity of a ooring, these requirements do not cover oorings which require periodic application of solutions or coating

19、s to produce the required conductivity. 1.5 Requirements for the installation and use of electrically conductive oorings are included in Chapter 12 of the Standard for Health Care Facilities, NFPA 99. 1.6 Additional requirements for the installation of ceramic tile oorings are included in the Specic

20、ations for Electrically Conductive Ceramic Tile Installed with Conductive Dry-Set Portland Cement Mortar, ANSI A108.7. 1.7 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves

21、a risk of re or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or

22、 systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 When

23、a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the rst stated value is the requirement.

CONSTRUCTION 4 General 4.1 A ooring shall be: a) Completed or nished ooring that is installed by the manufacturer;

25、or b) Of a type that can be installed following the manufacturers installation instructions and with all components supplied by the manufacturer. Exception: For ceramic tile ooring, the manufacturer need not supply the conductive dry-set Portland cement. 4.2 The ooring shall provide an electrically

26、conductive path between all persons and equipment making contact with the oor by means such as conductive footwear, bases, leg tips, or casters, to prevent the accumulation of dangerous electrostatic charges. 4.3 No point on a nonconductive element in the surface of the oor shall be more than 1/4 in

31、ring laid on the material specied in 5.1 (a) or 5.1 (b) shall be less than 1,000,000 ohms as measured between two electrodes placed 3 feet (0.914 m) apart at any point on the surface of the panel. See 6.7. 6.2 The electrical resistance of a sample consisting of a 4- by 4-foot (1.22- by 1.22-m) squar

32、e panel laid on an insulating surface shall be more than 25,000 ohms as measured between a ground connection and an electrode placed at any point on the surface of the panel, and also as measured between two electrodes placed 3 feet (0.914 m) apart at any point on the surface of the panel. See 6.7.

33、This minimum resistance is specied as a protection against electric shock. 6.3 The test panel is to be clean, dry, and without any coating of wax or other material that affects the conductivity of the ooring. 6.4 Each electrode is to weigh 5 pounds (2.27 kg) and is to have a dry, at, circular contac

34、t area 2-1/2 inches (63.5 mm) in diameter. The surface of the contact area is to be aluminum foil or tin foil 0.0005 to 0.001 inch (0.013 to 0.025 mm) thick, backed by a layer of rubber 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) thick. The rubber is to have a hardness reading of 40 to 60 using a Shore Type A durometer or th

35、e equivalent in accordance with the Standard Test for Method for Rubber Property Durometer Hardness, ASTM D2240-91. 6.5 Resistance is to be measured with a calibrated ohmmeter having an effective internal resistance of 100,000 ohms 10 percent. The test circuit is to have a nominal open-circuit poten

36、tial of 500 volts, direct current, and a short-circuit current of 5 milliamperes. 6.6 Measurements are to be made as specied in 6.1 and 6.2 at ve or more locations on each 4- by 4-foot (1.22- by 1.22-m) square panel. The resistance measured by each method is to be averaged separately. 6.7 For compli

37、ance with the requirements in 6.1, the average resistance shall be within the limits specied. For compliance with the requirements in 6.2, no location shall have a resistance of less than 10,000 ohms, and the average resistance, for ve or more locations, shall be greater than 25,000 ohms. When the r

38、esistance to ground is measured, two measurements are to be made at each location with the test leads interchanged at the instrument between measurements. The average of the two readings is to be taken as the resistance to ground at that location. If the resistance changes with time during a measure

39、ment, the value observed after the voltage has been applied for 5 seconds is determined to be the measured value. 6.8 The resistance of the panels is to be measured twice a week for 10 or more weeks, or until a stable resistance is attained. If the resistance change is such that the resistance limit

40、s specied in 6.1 and 6.2 are exceeded, the measurements are to be continued until stable conditions within the limits are attained or until the resistance limits are exceeded. The panels are to be covered between measurements to prevent accumulation of dust. AUGUST 12, 2011 ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE F

The resistance

43、shall not increase or decrease in a manner indicating that the limits are exceeded when the specimens were subjected to the test conditions for a greater length of time. 7.1.4 The resistance is to be measured using the ohmmeter described in 6.5. 7.1.5 The electrodes used for the resistance measureme

44、nts in 7.2.2, 7.3.2, 7.4.2, 7.5.2, and 7.6.2 are to be as described in 6.4. 7.1.6 Each electrode used for the resistance measurements in 7.6.2.2 is to consist of two stainless steel plates, each 2-1/2 inches (63.5 mm) long, 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm) wide, and at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) thick. The plat

45、es are to be clamped together by two screws tightened by wing nuts. 7.2 Cleansing agent 7.2.1 Two 6- by 12-inch (152- by 305-mm) or 9- by 9-inch (229- by 229-mm) panels are to be subjected to two washings per day using a 2 percent solution, by volume, of liquid toilet soap, manufactured from pure co

46、conut oil, in tap water having a total hardness of CaCO 3 of 110 parts per million and a pH value of 6.0 to 8.0. 7.2.2 The electrical resistance of the panels is to be measured before the washings and after 12 and 24 washings. The panels are to be allowed to dry, without rinsing, between washings an

47、d before measurements are made. Measurements on the panels are to be made at two locations on each panel. The electrodes are to be placed at opposite corners.
