What is BS EN 1081 about?
BS EN 1081 specifies test methods for determining the vertical resistance, the resistance to earth, the surface resistance of a resilient, laminate, and modular multilayer floor covering after installation in the test piece or after installation.
Who is BS EN 1081 for?
BS EN 1081 on resilient, laminate, and modular multilayer floor coverings is useful for:
- Floor coverings producers
- Floor coverings installers
- Floor coverings designers
- Quality control laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 1081?
The resilient, laminate and modular multilayer floor coverings help reduce possible electrostatic discharge. These types of floor covering are important within industries where static can cause discomfort to employers and malfunction of electronic equipment’s.
BS EN 1081 provides properties of a floor covering that you should comply with during designing and production. This ensures the safety of people who work with components at risk from electrostatic hazards.
