CONDUCTIVE and ANTISTATIC footwear: Footwear not intended for work with electricity but that must dissipate static currents, must present a low electrical resistance to encourage the current to circulate through the human body and discharge to the ground. It is recommended that insulating elements are not inserted between the footwear insole and the user's foot so that the properties of the footwear remain unchanged. The "C" conductive footwear has an electrical resistance of less than 0.1MΩ. By presenting a negligible resistance, it will be more suitable for jobs in which the production of electrostatic sparks is critical, such as in explosive environments, highly flammable, pyrotechnic, etc. Antistatic footwear "A" has an electrical resistance between 0.1 and 1,000MΩ. It is the most common test to eliminate static sparks in work environments. ESD footwear is a particular case of low resistance "A" antistatic footwear. These work environments occur in the manufacture of electronic circuits in which static electricity can cause damage to them. The floors, clothing, tools, tables, machinery, environment, ... in these areas are also ESD. Therefore, ESD footwear is the one that prevents electrostatic accumulation, since it manages to divert the electrostatic charge that our body absorbs to the outside. The ESD type of footwear is suitable for jobs where the control of electrostatic charge is essential (chemical companies, automobile, electronic components, electrical industry, etc.).
