Test Methods vs. Measured Results
An ESD flooring data sheet may name standards and claim that a product meets their requirements without providing measured results. Those references alone do not tell the facility what resistance or body voltage was measured, under which conditions, or against which limits.
Craftsman Concrete is an authorized installer of Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring, PIP and Sika ESD flooring systems. We help facilities obtain and review the test documentation behind manufacturer data-sheet claims, coordinate applicable manufacturer warranties, and identify whether additional testing is needed. Our testing and closeout documentation distinguishes manufacturer qualification evidence from measurements taken on the installed floor and separately assigned footwear/flooring system tests.
What does a list of standards establish?
A supplier example: PIP 170 ESD SR. The PIP 170 ESD SR data sheet states, in its list of advantages, that the product meets or exceeds specification under ANSI/ESD STM7.1-2013, ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2015, ANSI/ESD STM97.2-2016 and ANSI/ESD S6.1-2014.
That passage identifies the documents supporting the supplier’s claim. It gives no measured value or test limit. A facility cannot infer a particular resistance or body-voltage result from those designations alone. The current editions of the first two are ANSI/ESD STM7.1-2020 and ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2025.
This limitation concerns the cited passage. It does not establish that supporting reports are unavailable from the manufacturer.
What documentation should the facility request?
Methods, measured results and applicable limits. ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 requires qualification records for ESD control items to include the test method used, the results obtained and the test limits, regardless of the qualification method the organization uses (section 7.3).
Request the supporting report or qualification documentation showing:
- The product or footwear/flooring combination tested.
- The test method and edition used.
- The measured results and applicable limits.
- The environmental conditioning and test conditions relevant to qualification.
A floor-resistance report and a footwear/flooring system report answer different questions. Confirm that the supplied documentation covers the measurement and combination the facility needs to qualify.
The S20.20 qualification evidence requirements explain how supplier documentation and other records can support that review.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Missing results in a data-sheet passage do not demonstrate failure. They mean that the passage alone does not provide the measured evidence needed to evaluate the claim. Request the supporting documentation.
Not necessarily. ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 permits product specification review as a qualification route. First determine whether the manufacturer can supply evidence covering the relevant product or combination, methods, results, limits and conditioning. Additional testing may be needed if that evidence does not support the intended qualification.
