What is Anti-Slip Regulation?
There are many standards and guidelines regarding slip resistance of flooring.
Several organizations, including government organizations, refer to specific industry standards to use as guidance when choosing their flooring. Some guidelines refer to other standards. Additionally some standards are based of research and while other are only recognized overseas. There are also many slip standards which are outdated or even withdrawn. Its important you go directly to the source of the publication and not rely on 3rd party websites to ensure you have the most current published regulation.
