Standards Development
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.
The original standard published back in 2000 had to embrace MK1 GripTester’s (20 years old at that point) and the latest MK2 GripTester’s, so Husky microcomputers and Windows XP. Now, 25 years later, the oldest machines are now obsolete so the committee have proposed revising the standard to bring it up to date with modern practices.
You are now following this standard. Weekly digest emails will be sent to update you on the following activities:
