Pendulum slip resistance testing to the British and European standards relied on by the HSE, insurers and the Scottish courts.
The core British Standard for the operation of the portable pendulum slip resistance tester. It governs how the test is set up, calibrated and carried out so results are repeatable and comparable.
The European standard consolidating methods for determining the slip resistance of pedestrian surfaces, including the pendulum method used for in-situ floor testing.
The UK Slip Resistance Group guidelines turn a raw Pendulum Test Value into a meaningful classification. As a general guide for level pedestrian surfaces in the wet: a PTV of 0–24 is high slip potential, 25–35 is moderate, and 36 or above is low slip potential.
The international standard for the competence of testing laboratories. Our testing is UKAS-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 under Testing Laboratory No. 7933.
