scope:

This International Standard applies to rubber footwear with electrically conducting properties for special purpose applications where risk of electric shock from any electrical apparatus has been completely eliminated and it is necessary to minimize voltage build up and to dissipate static charges in the shortest possible time, for example when handling explosives, and it is not necessary to have a lower limit on resistivity (upper limit on conductivity). In order to ensure that the footwear is definitely conducting, an upper limit of resistivity of 150000 Ω is specified. This International Standard specifies requirements for rubber footwear with electrically conducting properties.
