Overview
EN 61340-4-1:2004/A1:2015 (CLC / IEC 61340-4-1 amendment) is a European adoption of an IEC amendment that specifies standard test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of floor coverings and installed floors used in electrostatic discharge (ESD) control. The amendment (A1:2015) updates test definitions, measuring fixtures and sampling procedures to improve repeatability and relevance for laboratory and on-site evaluations.
Key Topics
- Scope and safety note: the amendment adds a note that, while the standard does not itself set personal safety requirements, users must still comply with local health and safety regulations when installing and testing floors.
- Definition - Vertical resistance: clarified as the resistance measured between a counter‑electrode on the back of the specimen and a single electrode placed on the use surface.
- Support plates and insulating plates:
- Requirements updated for support plates used in point‑to‑point and resistance‑to‑ground tests (plates equal in area to test specimens, rigid, insulating with high vertical resistance).
- Insulating plate dimensions and construction specified for vertical resistance tests (e.g., a flat plate 640 mm ±10 mm square, thickness 5 mm ±1 mm) and for other measurements (e.g., 1300 mm ±10 mm by 600 mm ±10 mm, thickness 5 mm ±1 mm).
- Sampling for laboratory evaluations: guidance for combining tiles to form specimens, joining edges per manufacturer instructions, including measurements across at least one joint, attaching groundable points and respecting minimum distances for groundable points.
- Resistance to ground testing frequency: measurement quantity guidance-representative sampling with a minimum of one measurement per 100 m and at least six measurements in total.
- Measuring electrodes: provides example electrode designs suitable for the required measurements.
Applications
This standard is used by:
- Flooring manufacturers for product development and quality control of ESD-capable floor coverings.
- Independent test laboratories performing laboratory evaluations and acceptance testing of flooring and installed floors.
- ESD control engineers and facility managers specifying and verifying floor performance in electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, healthcare, and other environments sensitive to static discharge.
- Specifiers and procurement teams evaluating compliance of installed floors against recognized test methods.
Practical benefits include consistent, repeatable measurement procedures for evaluating electrical resistance, informed material selection, and reliable acceptance testing of installed flooring systems for ESD control.
Related standards
- Part of the IEC/EN 61340 series (electrostatics/ESD); this document is the A1 amendment to EN 61340-4-1:2004 and aligns with IEC/TC 101 work on electrostatics. National adoption is managed by CENELEC members.
