EN13036-4 Method for Measuring Surface Slip Resistance: Pendulum Test Method
We provide certification for slip resistance, with our primary goal being to create safer spaces through complete mastery of measurement techniques and specialized equipment.
Through our high-quality services and products, we offer the best expertise, customer proximity, efficient solutions, integrity, and fairness. We conduct slip resistance testing in compliance with national and international standards.
International Focus and On-Site Testing Specialization
With a strong focus on exportation, we assist manufacturers in classifying and characterizing the anti-slip properties of their materials.
We specialize in on-site testing according to various standards and systems, including:
- Pendulum Test (wet and dry)
- Ramp Method (DIN 51130, DIN 51097)
- BOT 3000E (DCoF Measurement)
- Tortus (Friction Coefficient Analysis)
- Tribometer GMG 200
Our commitment is to provide reliable and certified slip resistance assessments, ensuring compliance and safety for a wide range of surfaces and industries.
Friction pendulum
Of all the slip resistance tests, the tests carried out with the friction pendulum require special expertise in their execution to obtain the highest quality in the results.
We have the broadest scope of accreditation in pendulum testing so we can always offer a solution.
