Scope

This standard specifies a method for determining the body voltage generated when a person wearing standardized footwear walks on a resilient or laminate floor covering. The test method can be used under laboratory conditions as well as in situ.

Purpose

The scope will be enlarged to include modular mechanical locked floor coverings. The following changes should be implemented in the revision of EN1815:2016:

* description of the technical parameter o the new EPDM sole

* description how the sandals are to be made (the mentioned supplier of the sandals Fetronic is not more available)

* improvement of the description of the underlay material for laminate floor coverings (the mentioned material is not more available)

* integration of MMF-flooring in the description of the substructure

* description of the size of the test piece (approx.. 1950 mm x 980 mm)

* integration of a remark regarding a suitable reference flooring
