2.1 IHS-Richtlinie
In den IHS- (SVSI) Richtlinien für medizinisch genutzte Räume von März 1991 sind für die Räume der Kategorie 4 ableitfähige Bodenbeläge mit einem Ableitwiderstand von 5 x 10 4
 bis 1 x 10 6  vorgeschrieben.

I. Resistance measurements; quantity measured: Ω (Ohm)
Most tests are carried out in a prescribed test atmosphere, which is not uniform for the various standards.

a) Contact resistance
(R1 – Procedure A – DIN EN 1081)
The electric resistance, measured on a sample between the tripod- type electrode on the surface of the floor covering and an electrode on the bottom side directly on the other side.

b) Ground resistance
(R2 – Procedure B – DIN EN 1081)
The electric resistance, measured on a sample between the tripod- type electrode on the surface of the floor covering and an electrode on the bottom side directly on the other side.

c) Surface resistance
(R3 – Procedure C – DIN EN 1081)
The electric resistance, measured on an installed floor covering between two tripod-type electrodes set up at a distance of 3.94” (100 mm) from one another.

Resistivity, Resistance, Resistance to Ground
Resistance to Ground: Resistance to ground is a special
resistance measurement used for items or products that are
attached to ground. Electron flow is measured from a point
or points on the item or product to ground
A resistance to ground measurement is the only
acceptable method for determining the performance of
work surfaces, floor mats, grounded flooring systems,
footwear, etc.
Standards from the EOS/ESD Association describe
resistance to ground test procedures for work surfaces and
walking surfaces (to be published). A forthcoming standard
on grounding will also refer to resistance to ground
measurements.

4.260.000 Google hits for "resistance to ground", including cases where the resistance should be as low as possible, as shown in the following link:

Abstract
The resistance to ground of a wide set of square and rectangular grid electrodes combined with multiple rods, buried in uniform and two-layer soils, has been analyzed using available exact computer software.
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/login.jsp?url=http://ieeex...

This case can be called "Erdungswiderstand", too.

Other case, where ground is the frame:

It is common practice to perform resistance-to-ground (RTG) measurements to verify the integrity of the Insulation System in a motor.

"ground" can be replaced by "earth", in which case the search results to 2.120.000 Google hits.

earth leakage resistance

According to Siemens.

grounding resistance

This is how I would phrase this, unless it is an actual physical resistor, then change it to "grounding resistor."

Reference:

The term ground and grounding are used in US electrical engineering to represent electrical equipment that is securely bonded to the ground (i.e. that on which we stand) for safety reasons. In the UK the equivalent terms are earth and earthing.
