AI Thread Summary
An ESD mat is specifically designed for use on ESD floors and is typically placed in front of workstations. The term "floor mat" can refer to mats used on non-ESD floors, but in the context of ESD environments, "ESD mat" is more appropriate. ESD mats are generally a few square meters in size and support the safe use of electronic equipment. In larger areas requiring ESD protection, the entire floor may be treated, and users might need to wear special attachments on their shoes. Understanding the distinction between these terms is crucial for proper ESD management.

May i know a mat put on the ESD floor is called floor mat or foot rest? There is one understanding that the floor mat is used to put on non-ESD floor. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Priscilla

It would be a floor mat, or better, and ESD mat.
ESD mats are usually a couple of square meters in size and intended to be placed in front of a desk with the chair on top of it.
When a large room requires ESD protection, the floor is built and treated to provide ESD protection - and users are often required to wear attachments to their shoes to provide a circuit path to the floor.
