AirXpress MTC can perform Floor Slip Resistance Testing on-site or in a laboratory. This test is the science of measuring the coefficient of friction of flooring surfaces…
The field test facilitates owners and managers to meet the minimum anti-slip performance requirements to comply with the Australian Standards by identifying the risk of pedestrians slipping, tripping, and falling on floor surfaces in any property sectors.
Moreover, the laboratory test supports the initial assessment of flooring material in the laboratory enabling suppliers to certify resistance of a product prior to installation or delivery to site.
Safe Environments can undertake different slip ratings and each slip rating is used to assess the frictional characteristics of the surface in different environmental conditions. The slip rating simulates the in-service conditions that should be used.
• P ratings using the wet pendulum slip test
• D ratings using dry Floor Friction Test
• R ratings using the oil wet ramp test
• A, B & C ratings to the wet barefoot ramp test
AirXpress MTC will provide you with the P and D slip rating for the surface.
