Floor safety experts nationwide and internationally, have considered this test to be a joke for many years! Yet this joke continues to be no laughing matter since companies keep sending their products to be tested using this outdated, withdrawn scam of a test!
Tile Council of North America (TCNA) has announced the addition of a five-category “product use classification system” in ANSI A326.3 American National Standard Test Method for Measuring Dynamic Coefficient of Friction of Hard Surface Flooring Materials, published on February 2, 2022.
In the United States, there is only one standard that is acceptable for measuring slip resistance. It is the ANSI A326.3 which tests for the DCOF of a surface and requires the DCOF to measure above a 0.42 to be compliant with the standard.
