Surface Roughness (Rz) Testing

Rz surface roughness testing measures the texture of a floor surface in microns, complementing pendulum testing by quantifying the underlying material property that drives wet slip resistance.

Post-Incident Slip Testing

When a slip incident has occurred, urgent UKAS-accredited testing of the floor in its as-found condition produces the evidence needed for insurer notification, claims defence, or HSE investigation.
