    prior to occupancy

  • Monitor the effect of maintenance and pedestrian traffic on available slip resistance

  • Measure the effectiveness of floor care products

Third Party Audit Report

Upon completion of testing an audit report will be prepared in accordance with the ASTM F1694-14, “Standard Guide For Composing Walkway Surface Investigation, Evaluation, and Incident Report Forms for Slips, Stumbles, Trips, and Falls,” and the ASTM F2048-00, “Standard Practice for Reporting Slip Resistance Test Results.”

All Third Party Audit Reports Include:

  • Testing diagram with test location(s) and testing conditions identified

  • A description of the hard surface flooring conditions, as per ASTM standards

  • An executive summary of the chosen test method, either the ANSI A326.3 using the BOT 3000e or the ASTM E303-22 using the British Pendulum.

  • All DCOF Measurements and a statistical analysis of DCOF results

  • ANSI A326.3 test methods will also include Tribometer reports which include a timestamp, a date stamp, photos, and graphs of each individual DCOF sample.

LAB TESTING

Our partner Consumer Assurance Test Lab (CATL) is an independent test facility accredited to the ISO-17025:2017 Standard. The lab is fully equipped to measure the slip resistance of flooring and floor care products.

CATL tests are conducted in accordance with the following measurement standards:

  • ANSI A326.3 (2021) Measuring Dynamic Coefficient of Friction of Hard Surface Flooring Materials

  • ASTM E303-22 (2022) Measuring Surface Frictional Properties Using the British Pendulum Tester

  • ASTM F2913-19 Measuring the Coefficient of Friction for Evaluation of Slip Performance of Footwear and Test Surfaces . Flooring Using a Whole Shoe Tester

  • DIN 51130 (2014-02) Testing of Floor Coverings – Determination of the Anti-Slip Property – Workrooms and Field of Activities with Slip Danger – Walking Method – Ramp Test

Upon completion of the testing, a report will be issued as suggested per ASTM F2048-00 (2017) and will comply with all of the requirements per ISO-17025:2017.

Anything above and beyond this must be submitted to the lab prior to testing.
