Do different standards apply to different flooring materials?

Yes, there are many standards for flooring materials not all include reference to slip resistance or testing. In some of the standards testing for slip resistance is detailed, not all use the most suitable pendulum slider for the application and not all use a pendulum. You may be required to use a product standard to meet a product specification or to obtain a CE or UKCA mark, however, using the UKSRG Guidelines will help you understand the slip potential of any flooring material. You may want to assess flooring in this way in addition to any flooring-specific standards.
It is useful to note that testing to standards is usually carried out on ex-factory products. These products may change during installation and during use. The Guidelines will also assist you in considering the effects of cleaning, wear and use of the area into which the flooring will be installed.
Wear characteristics of a flooring material can be assessed by use of an accelerated wear machine.
