ISO 6356:2012规定了在受控条件下评估织物和层压地板覆盖物静电倾向的方法。由于产生的电位随湿度、鞋材、行走表面和个人习惯而变化，因此本测试产生的值不一定会重复实际的现场经验，但会提供不同表面性能的相对比较。 出于分类目的和争议情况下，ISO 6356中规定的测量程序: 2012可在相关分类标准规定的受控条件下使用，或在争议各方之间达成一致。在某些情况下，可能需要在非受控条件下进行测量，例如对已安装的地板覆盖物进行现场测量。使用ISO 6356:2012中规定的设备进行测量的原理可用于测量，既可以使用规定的标准鞋，也可以使用与最终用途相关的特定鞋。

ISO 6356:2012 specifies a method of evaluating the electrostatic propensity of textile and laminate floor coverings under controlled conditions. Since the potential generated varies with humidity, shoe materials, walk surface and individuals' mannerisms, the values generated by this test will not necessarily duplicate actual field experience, but will provide a relative comparison of the performance of different surfaces. For classification purposes and in cases of dispute, the measurement procedure specified in ISO 6356:2012 can be used under controlled conditions specified in the relevant classification standard or agreed between disputing parties. There may be occasions where measurements are required under non-controlled conditions, e.g. in situ measurements on installed floor coverings. The principle of measurement using the equipment specified in ISO 6356:2012 can be used to make measurements, either with the standard footwear specified or with specific footwear relevant to the end use.
