In the hall where the DCS operation computers are located in the control room, must the floor be made of anti-static flooring?

Dear teachers, the DCS control room in our factory, as well as the hall where the operators work, do not have anti-static flooring. The hall is separated from the cabinet area by glass, while the cabinet area does have anti-static flooring. The experts have suggested that the hall where the operators are located should also be fitted with anti-static flooring. Are there any regulatory requirements for this?
It’s not necessary. Refer to the control room design specifications.
It’s not necessary. On the contrary, many companies prefer to use non-slip tiles or marble
It’s not necessary. To give a less appropriate example, nuclear power plants are among the process industries with the strictest requirements, and their control rooms have tile floors. HG/T 20508-2014 3.4.7 The floors of the control room and engineer’s room should be made of anti-static, non-slip building materials that do not generate dust; modular flooring can also be used ； A raised floor should be used in the cabinet room.
In my opinion, it’s best to compare what happens when you don’t listen to the \"experts\". Will you have to pay out of your own pocket to use anti-static panels? Once there are problems such as crashes or malfunctioning, how can you explain things clearly since this feature isn’t set up? Will the investment be large? Considering things comprehensively, are there really such rules? What is the outcome when experts are rejected using those rules?
In fact, some anti-static floors have a look similar to that of tiles~
We hesitated to add it on the tile floor, not wanting to offend anyone
Using anti-static flooring in the cabinet room will suffice
The control panel, computers, and various electronic devices are all independently grounded to prevent static electricity; the tiles used are anti-static tiles
