Natural stone test methods - Determination of the slip resistance by means of the pendulum tester
This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the slip resistance value of the surface of the exposed face of natural stone elements intended to be used for flooring in buildings.
NOTE 1 If the surface of the exposed face has a roughness measured according to prEN 13373 higher than 1 mm it will be considered as not slippery, without performing the test.
NOTE 2 This method can be used for laboratory measurements or on floors in service.

Méthodes d'essai pour les pierres naturelles - Détermination de la résistance a la glissance au moyen du pendule de frottement
La présente Norme européenne définit une méthode pour déterminer la résistance a la glissance de la face exposée des éléments en pierre naturelle prévus pour une utilisation en sols de bâtiments.
NOTE 1 Si la surface de la face exposée a une rugosité mesurée conformément au prEN 13373 supérieure a 1 mm, elle sera considérée non glissante sans exécuter l'essai.

Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies.ISO 48, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastics – Determination of hardness (hardness between 10 IRHD and 100IRHD)ISO 4662, Rubber – Determination of rebound resilience of vulcanizatesISO 7619, Rubber – Determination of indentation hardness by means of pocket hardness meters3 PrincipleThe pendulum friction tester incorporates a spring loaded slider made of a standard rubber attached to the end ofthe pendulum. On swinging the pendulum the frictional force between slider and test surface is measured by thereduction in length of the swing using a calibrated scale.4 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply:4.1slip resistanceis the property of the floor surface to maintain the adhesion of pedestrian footwear.NOTELoss of adhesion leads to loss of control by the pedestrian with consequent increase in the risk of falling.4.2frictionis the resistance to relative motion between two bodies in contact, in this case the slider and the test specimen orthe footwear sole and the trafficked surface. The frictional force is the force acting tangentially in the contact area.4.3slip resistance value (SRV)the pendulum friction tester incorporates a slider manufactured of rubber. It measures the friction between theslider and the test surface and provides a standardised value of the slip resistance. This is called the slip resistancevalue (SRV) and shall be measured both in dry and wet conditions.SIST EN 14231:2003

EN 14231:2003 (E)75.2The pendulum friction tester shall have the following features:1) A spring loaded rubber coated slider as specified in clauses 5.4 to 5.10. It shall be mounted on the end of apendulum arm so that the sliding edge is (510 ± 1) mm from the axis of suspension.2) Means of setting the support column of equipment vertical.3) A base of sufficient mass to ensure that the equipment remains stable during the test.4) Means of raising and lowering the axis of suspension of the pendulum arm so that the slider can:i) swing clear of the surface of the specimen; andii) be set to traverse a surface over a fixed length of (126 ± 1) mm when using the wide slider or (76 ± 1)mm when using the narrow slider. Gauges with these distances marked are required as shown inFigure 2.1 Gauge2 Slider3 Reference edge4 Sliding length measured5 Actual sliding length6 Side view7 Plan viewFigure 2 — Sliding length gauge5) Means of holding and releasing the pendulum arm so that it falls freely from a horizontal position.6) A pointer of nominal length of 300 mm, balanced about the axis of suspension, indicating the position of thependulum arm throughout its forward swing and moving over the circular scale.
