scope:

This document (prEN 15673-1) describes a reference method incorporating three procedures for the determination in the laboratory of the slip resistance of floorings in the three most commonly encountered situations in which pedestrians walk (normal flooring, barefoot, and industrial situations). It specifies a laboratory reference method based on the subject-based inclined ramp method against which other test methods, which are able to be used in both, laboratory and on site, are compared. The method of validation is set out in prEN 15673-2 (WI 00339003). If the required degree of correlation is given between one of those test methods and the reference method, that method will be put forward as prEN 15673-2 (WI 00339003) a acceptable slip test method.
