Overview
This European Standard describes a method for determining the slip/skid resistance of a surface using a stationary device. The slip/skid resistance is measured by means of a slider mounted at the end of a pendulum arm. The method provides a measure of the slip/skid resistance properties of a surface either in the field or in the laboratory. This method measures the slip/skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0,01 m2). This should be considered when deciding its applicability to a surface which may have non-homogeneous surface characteristics, for instance, containing ridges or grooves, or is rough textured (exceeding 1,2 mm patch test). The Committee responsible for the standard is NA 005-10-08 AA "Oberflächeneigenschaften (SpA zu CEN/TC 227/WG 5)" ("Surface characteristics (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 227/WG 5)").
