Slip Testing
As a leading expert in floor safety, we are fully trained in ANSI testing standards and employ state-of-the-art technology, such as the BOT-3000E, to evaluate and test Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF).
This device accurately measures the slip resistance of various flooring surfaces, ensuring that your spaces meet and exceed the latest ANSI standards for slip resistance.
Compliance with New Revised ANSI Standards for DCOF
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has recently revised the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) standards to better address different use cases of floors and improve safety assessments. As your trusted partner, we ensure that our products and services comply with the latest ANSI standards, giving you the confidence to provide the safest environments for your clients.
Different Use Cases of Floors and DCOF Requirements:
-
Commercial Spaces: ANSI now recommends a minimum DCOF of 0.42 for commercial spaces, ensuring safety in areas with high foot traffic like lobbies, corridors, and entryways.
-
Industrial Facilities: For industrial spaces that might encounter spills or moisture, a higher DCOF of 0.50 is recommended to maintain slip resistance.
-
Residential Areas: ANSI suggests a DCOF of 0.50 for residential areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, where slip risks are prevalent.
-
Exterior Surfaces: Outdoor areas, including walkways and patios, should meet a minimum DCOF of 0.60 to address slip hazards caused by weather conditions.
