What is slip testing?
Slip testing is the scientific measurement of a floor surface's slip resistance. Using calibrated equipment like the wet pendulum tester, we measure how slippery a floor is under wet and dry conditions. The results are classified using P-ratings (P0 to P5) according to Australian Standards AS 4586 and AS 4663.
Why do I need a slip test?
Slip testing helps you meet your legal obligations under Australian workplace health and safety laws. If someone slips and is injured on your premises, you could be liable if you haven't taken reasonable steps to ensure floor safety. A professional slip test provides documented evidence of your due diligence and identifies any surfaces that need attention.
What is a P-rating?
A P-rating is a classification of a floor's slip resistance when wet, measured using the wet pendulum test to AS 4586. Ratings range from P0 (very slippery) to P5 (excellent slip resistance). Different environments require different minimum P-ratings. For example, commercial kitchens typically require P4 or P5, while general indoor areas typically need P3 or above.
What is AS 4663?
AS 4663:2013 is the Australian Standard for slip resistance measurement of existing pedestrian surfaces. It provides the methodology for testing floors that are already installed and in use, helping property owners and facility managers verify that their floors maintain adequate slip resistance over time.
