Slip Resistance Tester
1. Product Introduction & Applications
Slips and trips are among the most common causes of major injuries in workplaces, public areas, homes, and during sports activities. Poor slip resistance of footwear or flooring can lead to serious injuries, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
The Slip Resistance Tester is designed to evaluate the slip resistance of footwear and floor materials under controlled laboratory conditions. It can measure:
Whole shoe slip performance on standardized test surfaces.
Floor material slip resistance using standardized sole materials.
Applications:
Quality control of footwear to ensure safety and comfort.
R&D for developing slip-resistant shoes and flooring materials.
Compliance testing for workplace, home, and public safety standards.
Evaluation of slip resistance on wet or smooth surfaces for vulnerable populations.
The tester uses a fast, accurate control and data acquisition system to ensure test force and speed meet the specified requirements, while providing intuitive visual display of results.
2. Conformity Standards
The Slip Resistance Tester complies with the following international and national standards:
ASTM F2913 — Standard test method for measuring the coefficient of friction for evaluation of slip performance of footwear and test surfaces using a whole shoe tester
BS EN 13287 — Personal protective equipment: Footwear — Test method for slip resistance
GB/T 28287 — Foot protection: Test method for footwear slip resistance
EN ISO 20344 — Personal protective equipment: Test methods for footwear
Satra TM144A — New method of non-slip test for footwear
CEN/TC 161 WG3 — European standard for slip resistance
Compliance ensures reliable, reproducible, and standardized test results for footwear and flooring evaluation.
