Demista Mirror Capacitance Grounding Pad - 2m

The demista self-adhesive capacitance grounding pad should be placed firmly on to the exposed foil/metalwork of the mirror to relieve the capacitance effect.

Mirrors that have a conductive foil backing, metallic covering or metal frame must be earthed – to comply with the IEE Wiring regulations, Eighteenth edition (BS7671:2018) or equivalent national wiring regulations – due to the possibility of a small capacitance effect, where the metal builds up an electric charge that dissipates only when it is grounded, which can cause injury if touched. The solution is to fit a mirror capacitance grounding pad, which must be placed firmly on the exposed foil/metalwork of the mirror.

If you are unsure whether you require a capacitance grounding pad; please call our technical service team for advice.
