How we test slip resistance
There are a number of standards that deal with the topic of slip resistance. The tests according to DIN 51130 and 51097 as well as according to XPP 05-010 are similar – apart from minor differences.
General slip resistance in work areas according to DIN 51130
Here the covering to be tested is placed on a test frame and 200 ml of a special motor oil is applied per square meter. A test person walks on the surface wearing standardized work shoes while it is lifted over the rear edge.
The examiner runs up and down the increasingly steep ramp until he slips or feels unsteady. The resulting angle of inclination of the surface or ramp is finally measured and decides on the classification into the corresponding evaluation group within the DIN standard.
Slip resistance in wet barefoot areas according to DIN 51097
The structure according to DIN 51097 is similar to DIN 51130. Instead of oil, water is applied to the same device and the inspector walks on the surface barefoot.
Slip resistance in wet areas according to XPP 05-010
This standard involves carrying out two tests that correspond to the tests for DIN standards 51130 and 51097.
