Provides users, maintenance organisations and facility managers with standardised methods of testing existing in situ pedestrian surface materials for determination of their slip resistance, and provides means of measuring the frictional characteristics of existing pedestrian surfaces in wet and dry conditions.

This Standard provides means of measuring the frictional characteristics of existing pedestrian surfaces in wet and dry conditions.This Standard does not cover gratings or carpet.NOTE: The slip resistance testing of carpets used for synthetic sporting surfaces is covered in AS 2983.4.
