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.
