The full range of recognised methods
We select the right method for your surface and use case — and document it to the standard the HSE, insurers and the courts expect.
Pendulum (PTV) testing
The HSE-preferred in-situ test, producing a Pendulum Test Value in wet and dry conditions to BS EN 16165.
Shod & barefoot testing
Slider 96 to represent footwear and Slider 55 for barefoot areas such as pools and changing rooms.
Surface roughness (Rz)
Surface profile measurement used alongside pendulum data to assess slip potential under wet contamination.
