Commission a BS 7976 sample test and you can expect the following:

BS 7976 Pendulum test results using slider #55 (TRL) or #96 (4S) as required.

Surface roughness (Rz) measurement.

Full independent certification stating methodology, classification of results and comment on suitability for end use.

UKAS calibration certificates for all test equipment on request.

A fast service with samples typically turned around in 24 hours.

Return of your sample as required.

BS7976-2 pendulum testing remains the HSE and UKSRG's preferred slip testing method, suitable for floor specification, risk assessment and used extensively in litigation.
Surface roughness measurement gives an indication of performance in contaminated conditions and allows easy long term monitoring.

Requirements:

Any samples submitted should be of at least 300mm x 300mm to allow directional tests to be completed on adjacent areas. This is in line with UKSRG recommendations. Testing can be conducted on smaller samples in some circumstances, please contact us to discuss this if it is not possible to supply a standard size sample.

Treatments, paints, films or excessively thin samples should be applied or mounted on a material representative of end use prior to submission. Films submitted for testing unmounted will be applied to a hard smooth surface such as float glass.

Care should be taken when selecting samples to ensure the specimen is flat. Due to the nature of the pendulum test any bowed samples will significantly affect results.

Samples should be marked as "Test Specimen" and sent to us at:

Grip Potential Ltd
Ringstead Business Centre
1-3 Spencer Street
Ringstead
Northants
NN14 4BX

Please note that we are not able to accept courier deliveries outside normal office hours, nor are we equipped to accept palletised deliveries without prior warning.

If you have any questions or queries with regard to our sample testing service please get in touch.

All equipment used is externally calibrated to UKAS standards and calibration documents are available on request.
A full report is issued in pdf format via email usually less than 24 hours after receipt of the test sample. You can request a sample report here.
