Slip resistance of floors and surfaces is a major risk factor for accidents in both indoor and outdoor environments. The test is conducted according to EN 13036-4, using the Pendulum Test method, an internationally recognized procedure that simulates foot slippage and measures the dynamic friction of the surface under dry and wet conditions.
The test result is expressed as the Pendulum Test Value (PTV), which determines the level of slip resistance and surface safety. This measurement is essential for playgrounds, sports facilities, shopping centers, sidewalks, industrial areas, and public spaces. The slip resistance test ensures that every surface meet safety requirement, protecting users and enhancing the reliability of operators and manufacturers.
The main objective of Octocert is to provide high-quality inspections and certifications to private and public sector businesses and organizations, with the aim of producing perfect products, in accordance with internationally recognized standards and Greek legislation, decisively contributing to the safety of consumers – users and especially children.
