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.
