This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 4 March 2012 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16165:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 339 “Slip
resistance of pedestrian surfaces - Methods of evaluation”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This document describes the most commonly used test methods in Europe for the determination of the slip
resistance of floorings in the most commonly encountered situations in which pedestrians walk.
The method in Annex A describes the test method based on the ramp with contaminant water and operator
barefoot.
The method in Annex B describes the test method based on the ramp with contaminant oil and operator
wearing specified shoes.
NOTE The contaminant oil is used only to make the test more sensitive.
The method in Annex C describes the test method based on the pendulum in dry and wet conditions using
specified rubber sliders. This method can be used in situ.
The method in Annex D describes the test method based on the tribometer in dry and wet conditions using
specified rubber sliders. This method can be used in situ.
The tests described in Annexes A and B are laboratory tests. The tests described in Annexes C and D are
laboratory and in situ tests. It is recommended to use Annexes A to D in the situations described as follows:
The method in Annex A: Floorings in wet conditions where the pedestrian is barefoot.
The method in Annex B, C and D: Floorings in private and/or public and/or work areas in wet and/or dry
conditions where the pedestrian is wearing shoes.
