stair suitability suitability of a textile floorcovering for use on stair nosing in different use classes (as described in EN 1307, EN 1470, EN 15114, EN 14215 and EN 13297) 4 Principle The specimens of textile floorcovering are exposed, at constant load and slippage and for a prescribed number of double passages, to the action of a four-footed wheel (Tretrad), the feet of which are fitted with interchangeable rubber soles. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Lisson Tretrad machine 5.1.1 General A Lisson Tetrad machine comprises a bed plate, a vacuum cleaning system and two Tretrad assemblies (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 — Lisson Tretrad machine 5.1.2 Bed plate The bed plate faces are parallel to the track travelled by the Tretrad feet and the front edge of the plate is rounded with a 10 mm radius to simulate a stair nosing. The tested surface is formed by the width of the Tretrad feet and the length of the track over which the Tretrad runs. The track length shall be determined for each machine by measuring the distance between the front edge of the base plate and the perpendicular projection of the Tretrad axis at its furthermost point of reversal. The length of track shall be (800 ± 20) mm. Two clamps mounted at each end of the bed plate are used to hold each specimen under tension. The tension is applied by means of a weighted third clamp, each specimen being subjected to a force of (20 ± 2) kg. 5.1.3 Tretrad assemblies The Lisson Tretrad apparatus has two Tretrad assemblies each of which comprises a Tretrad mounted in a frame that is free to rotate around an axis that is 135 mm to 140 mm above the upper surface of the bed plate. Each Tretrad comprises four equally spaced legs with rigidly attached feet platforms. The surface of the foot platform has a radius of curvature of (112,5 ± 1,0) mm, a circumferential length of (100,0 ± 1,0) mm and a width of (55,0 ± 0,5) mm. The ends of the contact surfaces of the platforms are rounded with a radius of (4,0 ± 0,5) mm. The vertical force applied by the Tretrad feet, in the stationary state, shall be (15,0 ± 1,0) kg measured without the soles in position.

The soles have a wave profile on one face, and their slip resistance is controlled to ensure standard behaviour in the Lisson Tretrad test.
