Description

Slip resistance (coefficient of friction) testing will be conducted on your flooring sample using the test method you choose (we recommend the ASTM E303 pendulum slip test, or the ANSI A326.3/A137.1 test, generally, for lab DCOF testing) and you will be emailed a certified slip test report signed and stamped by a registered professional engineer, usually within 2-3 days of receiving your sample(s). Send a copy of your slip resistance test receipt with your flooring sample so we know where to send results. The pendulum slip resistance test has been in use for over 50 years and is in use in at least 50 nations, and has lots of real-world slip and fall research behind it. The ANSI A326.3 and ANSI A137.1 slip test (or “DCOF AcuTest”) was updated in 2021, but sets a very low bar for safety and says it is for “comparing surfaces”, not assessing slip risk.
