Absolutely. We work with builders and construction companies to verify that newly installed floor surfaces meet the required P-ratings before handover. Testing during the construction phase ensures compliance from day one and protects you from liability issues after completion.
What is AS 4586?
AS 4586:2013 is the Australian Standard for slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials. It specifies the test methods and classification system (P-ratings for wet pendulum, R-ratings for oil-wet ramp) used to assess how slip-resistant a new floor surface is before installation.
