Yes — it is fully certified to IEC 61340 for ESD safety and includes conductive fabric or vinyl, chrome lift, and metal castors to prevent static build-up.

How does it differ from the standard RH Activ 220?
The ESD model uses antistatic materials and components throughout, while retaining the same ergonomic adjustability and backrest design.

Can I use this for shared desks or multiple users?
Absolutely. It adjusts quickly and easily, making it ideal for multi-user or high-turnover environments.
