WHAT DOES THE R SLIP RATING MEAN? The below table summarises a German National Standard test method; DIN51130. This test is a shod foot test where an individual walks on a wet surface wearing cleated safety boots whilst being held by a harness. The angle of the ramp is adjusted and whilst doing so the degree at which the individual slips, generates an R-Value. You should choose the right one part system or Laminate based on the environment it will be fitted in R13 Slip Angle 6-10 deg 10-19 deg 19-27 deg 27-35 deg 35 deg Wet Slip Risk High Risk Moderate Moderate Low Risk Low Risk DIN 51130 R9 R10 R11 R12

The Pendulum CoF test is designed to replicate the motion of a slipping foot and the laminates response to that motion. The value generated is called the Pendulum Test Value (PTV). It’s a different way of testing the slip resistance; however, its values can be directly compared to the results of the Test above R-Value (Shod Foot) PTV R9 11-18 R10 18-34 R11 34-51 R12 51-70 R13 70+ Skid Resistance for Overlaminate film 3647 has been tested following the principles of BS 7976-2:2002 results are shown below. Overlaminate film 3647 also meets the re- quirements for the skid resistance values (“SRV”), as set forth by the European Union in the proposed European norms prEN1341 and prEN1342 for outdoor pedestrian surfaces.
