| Friction coefficient test on tiles |
Slip resistance is tested according to procedure ASTM C-1028-D1084. The standard endorsed by the industry, as adopted by UL (Underwriters Laboratory) and ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials), declares that a surface is safe if its coefficient of friction (COF) is higher than .50. Inversely, the surface is deemed dangerous if its coefficient is lower than .50.
Legal definition of negligence:
Non intentional fault, defined by the failure to do something which should have been done, subsequently causing harm or injury.
.
The standard endorsed by the industry as adopted by U.L. (Underwriter Laboratory) and A.S.T.M. (American Society of Testing and Materials) declares that it is safe to walk on a dry surface if the coefficient of friction is higher than .50 .SECURNONSLIP has been authorized and tested by the following organisations:A reading under .50 indicates a dangerous surface.
The non-slip static values for the coefficient of friction are established as followed :
.60 and more - SAFE
.50 à .59 - RELATIVELY SAFE
.40 à .49 - DANGEROUS
.35 à .39 - VERY DANGEROUS
.00 à .34 - UNUSUALLY DANGEROUS
