Material Testing

Surface performance provides UKAS certified lab testing on surface materials for safety against slip and fall hazards.

We follow national slip resistance guidelines in line with BS7976 as set by international ISO standards and guided by the UK slip resistance group.

    With constant use and daily cleaning, floor surfaces become slippery or extremely rough to walk on. A smooth and shiny look also matters when it comes to floors because of presentational preferences and visual impact . They are a significant part of your premises. Hence, floor safety testing is required to set a balance in smoothness and friction to avoid slips and falls. 

    Over a decade, our experts have assessed almost all kinds of materials for floor and pedestrians’ safety. Slip and fall cases cause injury to people and also bring legal claims for the propertyoccupiers. It is essential to have a UKAS accredited slip rating to avoid such instances and to protecting your organisation from liability.. 

    Certification should be no older than 12 months, and it should be from a UKAS certified lab.

      We have instructed Surface Performance to carry out slip testing at all of our warehouses that have high foot and vehicle traffic. The flooring is tested after initial installation to check that our contractors have achieved the PTV values that we specify in both dry and wet conditions. Surface Performance are always available at late notice and their reporting time is exceptionally efficient.

      Surface Performance Ltd have carried out UKAS accredited BS 7976 and UKSRG testing and certification to our entire range of 35 products. We enjoyed a fascinating tour of their laboratory during the process and we cannot recommend enough the professionalism of the laboratory team. We now provide all new clients with copies of the UKAS reports as part of our product marketing literature.

      Decking Manufacturer

      We were delighted with the last minute slip test that we arranged with Surface Performance at one of our London properties following an incident that happened in a canteen area. We were able to demonstrate that the flooring was fit for purpose in both dry and wet conditions through accredited testing.
