Slip Testing Results
Following the guidelines presented by the UK slip resistance group, SureGRP anti-slip surface was tested by an independent test house and was found to comply with current British Standards as an “enhanced non-slip material” on a flat or sloping surface and in both wet and dry conditions.
Slip Testing
Slip resistance testing is a significant component in the avoidance of accidents, but it is also one of the most complex attributes of flooring in buildings to assess.
Pendulum Slip Testing
The slip resistance testing was carried out using a TRRL Pendulum tester and followed the method described in “The assessment of floor slip resistance” The UK Slip Resistance Group Guidelines (UKSRG) Issue 3 2005(1). The test was carried out in both a wet and dry (as found) condition using the Four “S” / Standard pedestrian hard rubber.
