BS 6654:1985 PDF Download

Guidelines for determining the electrical resistivity of textile floor coverings are provided by the BS 6654:1985 standard. The standard focuses on measuring resistivity or resistance both vertically and horizontally to supplement assessments of electrostatic propensity. In order to ensure that textile floor coverings satisfy the relevant safety standards in terms of their electrical qualities, it is essential to do this.

The standard specifies the precise testing procedures to be used in order to determine the floor coverings' electrical resistivity. The vertical and horizontal resistivity tests, which are crucial for assessing how well floor coverings perform in terms of electrostatic charge creation and dissipation, are described in detail.

Manufacturers and users of textile floor coverings can make sure that the materials they are working with meet the necessary electrical resistivity criteria by complying with the BS 6654:1985 standard. This standard supports upholding safety requirements and averts potential risks brought on by electrostatic charges, particularly in settings where electrostatic discharge might be harmful or dangerous. It offers a trustworthy and repeatable approach for evaluating the electrical characteristics of textile floor coverings, enabling consistent and precise evaluations across various items.
