Slip Resistance
How Slip Resistant are we?
All Non-Slip products made of fibreglass and grit surface have been tested using the pendulum test method which is detailed in the British Standard BS4592-0:2006.
The Skid Resistance Tester operates thanks to a pendulum with a rubber slider, which bounces from a fixed height and sharpens with an edge over a fixed length of the road surface. The energy converted by the sliding procedure is determined on the basis of the climbing height of the pendulum and results in a measure for the pavement grip of the examined surface.
