Scope

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 application. The measured values can be affected by the test speed.
