Scope and Responsibilities
Installation Is a Controlled System Process
Final installed performance depends on coordinated Product selection, subfloor condition, site environment, grounding design, Conductive Adhesive, installation workmanship, seam treatment, protection, testing and documentation.
Project Specification
Defines the required Product, system components, performance requirements, testing and acceptance criteria.
Product Instructions
Define Product-specific handling, adhesive, installation, welding, cleaning and maintenance requirements.
Approved Installation Method
Defines how the contractor will apply Product and project requirements to actual site conditions.
Project Checklist
Pre-Installation Review
Review the selected system, site information and project responsibilities before materials are installed.
Approved Product and System
Confirm flooring, Conductive Adhesive, Copper Foil Grounding Strip, Welding Rod and optional maintenance components.
Technical Documentation
Review Technical Datasheets, Installation Guides, Test Reports, specifications and approved method statements.
Site Conditions
Confirm that the installation area is enclosed, protected and suitable for flooring work.
Subfloor Information
Review substrate type, condition, previous treatments, contamination risk and required preparation.
Grounding Plan
Confirm grounding points, Copper Foil layout and connection responsibility.
Product Quantities
Confirm flooring, adhesive, foil, welding rod, packaging and batch information.
Layout and Seam Plan
Confirm flooring direction, layout, seams, joints, terminations and transitions.
Installation Team
Confirm the team understands the selected Product and approved installation method.
Subfloor and Site Readiness
Prepare a Suitable Subfloor and Installation Environment
Evaluate the substrate for suitability before flooring installation.
Structurally Sound
The substrate must be stable and capable of supporting the installed flooring system.
Flat and Smooth
Correct irregularities that may affect adhesive transfer, appearance or seam quality.
Dry
Moisture conditions must meet Product, adhesive and project requirements.
Clean
Remove dust, oil, old adhesive, coatings and contamination.
Compatible Surface
Preparation materials must be compatible with the selected flooring system.
Controlled Conditions
Maintain approved environmental conditions before, during and after installation.
Installation Process
Coordinate Grounding, Adhesive, Flooring and Seams
Grounding Component
Copper Foil Grounding
Follow the approved grounding design, Copper Foil layout, connection method, testing requirements and project responsibilities.
Installation Component
Conductive Adhesive
Confirm compatibility, preparation, application, adhesive transfer, placement, rolling and traffic restrictions.
Flooring Format
Homogeneous ESD Vinyl Tile
Confirm datum lines, Tile alignment, Product direction, adhesive placement, consolidation, joint condition and required welding.
Flooring Format
Homogeneous ESD Vinyl Sheet
Confirm roll direction, Sheet layout, seam positions, conditioning, trimming, adhesive placement, consolidation and welding.
Testing and Handover
Verify and Document the Installed System
Evaluate the completed flooring installation, grounding and agreed project requirements without assuming a pass, certification or compliance conclusion.
1. Confirm Test Method
Use the project-defined method, equipment, conditions and acceptance criteria.
2. Record Test Locations
Document tested locations and room or area references.
3. Record Results
Record measured values exactly as tested.
4. Compare Requirements
Evaluate results against approved project requirements.
5. Prepare Handover Documentation
Provide available installation, testing, Product and maintenance information.
Coordinated System Components
Products for a Coordinated Installation System
Review published flooring and installation components for project-specific system planning.

Initial Cleaning and Protection
Protect the Installed Flooring Before Handover
Remove Installation Residue
Remove loose debris and installation residue using the approved cleaning method.
Protect Against Damage
Protect the floor from construction traffic, sharp objects, equipment and contamination.
Follow Traffic Restrictions
Do not open the flooring to traffic before approved requirements are met.
Avoid Unapproved Finishes
Do not apply ordinary wax, polish or chemicals unless approved for the ESD system.
Optional ESD Floor Finish
Use ESD Floor Finish only when selected and approved as part of the maintenance program.
