Gives a method for the determination of skid resistance of a surface with the use of a GripTester continuous reading braked wheel fixed slip device. It applies to: - highways: surfacings; - highways: horizontal signs; - airport runways; - flight decks; - footways; - pedestrian precincts; - test panels of surfaces intended for any of the above.

This British Standard describes a method for determining the skid resistance of a surface using the GripTester continuous reading braked wheel fixed slip device.

The method is applicable to the following:

  • highways: surfacings;

  • highways: horizontal signs;

  • airport runways;

  • flight decks;

  • footways;

  • pedestrian precincts;

  • test panels of surfaces intended for any of the above.

The method is for measurement of skid resistance along a continuous surface on external paved surfaces or indoors. Test speeds can vary from 5 km/h to 130 km/h depending on the application. The measured values can be affected by the test speed.
