Purpose of the Tool

This ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Compatibility Checker is designed to provide general guidance and is intended for informational purposes only. It should not be considered a definitive or comprehensive assessment of electrostatic protection requirements.

Limitations of the Tool

  1. Not a Substitute for Professional Assessment
    • This tool provides a basic compatibility check and does not replace professional engineering evaluation
    • Individual workplace environments may have unique requirements not captured by this generalized assessment
  2. Simplified Compatibility Criteria
    • The compatibility matrix is based on general industry guidelines
    • Actual ESD protection depends on multiple complex factors beyond shoe and floor types

User Responsibilities

  • Users must:
    • Conduct thorough site-specific ESD risk assessments
    • Consult with safety and engineering professionals
    • Perform comprehensive testing of ESD protective equipment
    • Follow specific industry and regulatory standards

Accuracy and Reliability

  • The information provided is based on typical industry classifications
  • Actual resistance values and compatibility may vary
  • Users should independently verify all technical specifications
