Road and airfield surface characteristics - Test methods - Part 4: Method for measurement of slip/skid resistance of a surface: The pendulum test
This European Standard describes a method for determining the slip/skid resistance of a surface using a device which remains stationary at the test location. The slip/skid resistance is measured by means of a slider mounted at the end of a pendulum arm.
The method provides a measure of the slip/skid resistance properties of a surface either in the field or in the laboratory.
This method measures the slip/skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0,01 m2). This should be considered when deciding its applicability to a surface which may have non-homogeneous surface characteristics, e.g. containing ridges or grooves, or is rough textured (exceeding 1,2 mm patch test).
NOTE As the results from this test are taken at one small location, the results cannot be compared with results from devices e.g. mobile devices, that measure the slip/skid resistance over a long length of a surface.
Oberflächeneigenschaftenprüfverfahren - Teil 4: Methode zur Messung der Griffigkeit von Oberflächen: Der Pendeltest
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Griffigkeit einer Oberfläche mit einem stationären Gerät. Die Griffigkeit wird mit einem am Ende eines Pendelarms befestigten Gleitkörper gemessen.
Das Verfahren ermöglicht entweder im Feldversuch oder im Labor die Messung der Griffigkeit einer Oberfläche.
Mit diesem Verfahren wird die Griffigkeit eines kleinen Teils einer Oberfläche (etwa 0,01 m2) bestimmt. Dies sollte berücksichtigt werden, wenn über die Anwendbarkeit des Verfahrens zur Messung einer Oberfläche, die nicht homogene Oberflächeneigenschaften, z. B. mit Graten oder Rillen, oder eine raue Oberflächen-beschaffenheit (über 1,2 mm Strukturtiefe) aufweist, zu entscheiden ist.
ANMERKUNG Da die Ergebnisse aus dieser Prüfung über einen kleinen Bereich erzielt werden, können sie nicht mit den Ergebnissen verglichen werden, die mit Vorrichtungen zur Messung der Griffigkeit über eine größere Oberflächenlänge - z. B. mit mobilen Vorrichtungen - erzielt werden.
Caractéristiques de surface - Methode d’essai - Partie 4 : Methode d’essai pour mesurer l’adherence d’une surface : L’essai au pendule
La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode permettant de déterminer l’adhérence d’une surface au
moyen d’un dispositif statique à l’emplacement soumis à l’essai. L’adhérence est mesurée par l’intermédiaire
d’un patin monté à l’extrémité du bras d’un pendule.
Cette méthode fournit une mesure des caractéristiques d’adhérence d’une surface sur site ou en laboratoire.
Elle mesure l’adhérence d’une surface réduite de revêtement (environ 0,01 m2) et il convient d’en tenir compte
pour décider de son applicabilité à un revêtement ayant des caractéristiques superficielles non homogènes,
c’est-à-dire présentant par exemple des stries ou des rainures, ou ayant une texture rugueuse
(dépassant 1,2 mm lors d’un essai de profondeur moyenne de texture).
NOTE Du fait que les résultats fournis par cet essai correspondent à une surface limitée, ils ne peuvent pas être
comparés à des résultats ayant été obtenus au moyen d’appareils dynamiques qui mesurent l’adhérence sur une grande
longueur de revêtement.
Značilnosti cestnih in letaliških površin - Preskusne metode - 4. del: Metoda merjenja odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu - Preskus z nihalom
Ta evropski standard opisuje metodo za določanje odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu z uporabo stacionarne naprave na preskusni lokaciji. Odpornost proti drsenju/zdrsu je merjena z roko nihala. Metoda določa merilo lastnosti odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu na terenu ali v laboratoriju.
Ta metoda meri odpornost površine proti drsenju/zdrsu na manjšem območju površine(približno 0,01 m2). To je treba upoštevati, kadar se odločamo za njeno uporabnost na površini, ki ima nehomogene značilnosti, vsebuje na primer grebene ali žlebove ali ima grobo teksturo (ki presega 1,2 mm krpičnega preskusa).
OPOMBA 1: Ker rezultati tega preskusa izhajajo z manjše lokacije, se ne morejo primerjati z rezultati naprav, npr. mobilnih naprav, ki merijo odpornosti površine proti drsenju/zdrsu na daljši dolžini. OPOMBA 2: Na točnost in natančnost preskusa lahko vpliva operativni delavec. Preskus mora izvesti usposobljena in pristojna oseba, ki je izvedla postopek potrditve iz dodatka A.1.
General Information

Overview - EN 13036-4:2011 (Pendulum test for slip/skid resistance)
EN 13036-4:2011 is the CEN European Standard that specifies the pendulum test method for measuring the slip/skid resistance of road and airfield surfaces. The method uses a stationary pendulum tester with a rubber slider mounted at the end of an arm. The measured loss of energy during the slider’s pass over the surface gives the Pendulum Test Value (PTV), a standardized indicator of surface friction. The test is suitable for field and laboratory use and measures a small surface area (≈ 0.01 m²), so care is needed when evaluating non‑homogeneous or heavily textured pavements.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test principle: spring‑loaded pendulum arm with a rubber slider; energy loss during swing is recorded as a PTV.
- Equipment basics: pendulum arm mass and centre of gravity specifications; frame stability; levelling and release mechanisms; pointer and circular scales (unit Scale C for 126 mm sliding length and optional Scale F for 76 mm).
- Slider assemblies: wide slider (≈76.2 mm × 25.4 mm rubber pad) and narrow slider (≈31.75 mm × 25.4 mm), with specified thickness, mass and attachment method.
- Sliding length: nominally (126 ± 1) mm for typical field tests (76 mm used in some laboratory contexts).
- Calibration & validation: procedures and annex for performance validation, slider preparation and full calibration of the pendulum tester.
- Limitations: measures a small local area (~0.01 m²) - results are not directly comparable with mobile, long‑length friction devices; caution for surfaces with ridges/grooves or mean texture depth > 1.2 mm.
- Safety: operator and equipment form a stationary obstruction in field testing; appropriate traffic safety measures required.

The rubber shall be free from contamination by, for example, dust, abrasive or oil. 6.12 Before using a new slider rubber it shall be conditioned to achieve a minimum width of sliding edge as shown in Figure 3. After the conditioning procedure this is typically greater than 1 mm. 6.13 This can be achieved by setting up the tester and carrying out sufficient swings wet or dry as described in A.2. 6.14 When the width of the working edge of the rubber pad exceeds 2,5 mm for slider 57 and 3 mm for slider 96, or when it becomes excessively scored or burred, this edge shall no longer be used. The edge shall be suitably disfigured to prevent its further use, and the other long edge of the rubber pad shall be adopted as the working edge. When the width of this edge also exceeds 2,5 mm or 3 mm respectively or when it becomes excessively scored or burred, the rubber pad shall be discarded. 6.15 The slider assembly shall be stored in a dry watertight bag in the dark at a temperature of (10 ± 5) °C. The slider assembly shall be at ambient temperature when used. SIST EN 13036-4:2011

Set the sliding length of the slider (the distance between two points where the sliding edge of the rubber touches the test surface) by gently lowering the pendulum arm while using the vertical screw (Figure 1) after unclamp the head of the pendulum until the slider just touches the surface, first on one side of the vertical, and then on the other.The sliding length shall be between (126 ± 1) mm for the wide slider and (76 ± 1) mm for the narrow slider. This is normally accomplished as follows in a series of small steps, using one of the gauges shown in Figure 2 for 126 mm sliding length or a special scale for the narrow slider with a sliding length of 76mm.
11.8.1 Move the pendulum foot to the right and lower the head so that the slider starts to contact the test surface with its rear corner (aluminium backing) level with the right (outermost) mark on the gauge. Manually hold the gauge in that position. 11.8.2 Raise the slider with the slider lifting handle and move the pendulum foot to left hand side sufficiently to ensure the slider is clear of the surface when the slider is lowered. 11.8.3 Allow the pendulum foot to gently drop back so that the slider contacts the test surface.

is the constant value achieved by the final three swings if the initial swings are too variable as described in 11.11. NOTE Some product test methods use a different number of swings and a different calculation of the PTV. 12.2 Report the PTV to the nearest whole number. 12.3 Where testing in the field, correct Pendulum Test Value for temperature using the nearest temperature from Table 3 below. 12.4 The measured slider temperature shall be the mean of the temperatures of the wetted slider before and after testing. 12.5 Report the temperature corrected PTV value as PTVCorr to the nearest whole number. The PTV for a location is the mean of three individual PTV determinations. NOTE 1 Where it was not possible to use the wide slider, the results for a narrow slider (see 6.4) on a flat surface/specimen over a 76 mm nominal swept length, shall be multiplied by a factor of 1,1 to obtain an estimated PTV within 10 %.

NOTE 2 The temperature correction for slider temperatures above 30 °C and below 10 °C are approximate and depend upon the roughness of the surface being tested. No temperature correction of Pendulum Test Value (PTV) is required when the test is carried out at other than 20 °C using slider 96. 13 Precision The reproducibility of the measuring method has been examined on the basis of a round-robin test in which eleven different European laboratories participated. This involved testing twelve different material surfaces, whereby each laboratory tested the relevant material surfaces under laboratory conditions, using a slider 57 as well as a slider 96. Testing was done in the “wet” condition. The materials were tested in two opposite directions and the average value was examined. The standard deviations found were as follows:
Slider 96: From 1.5 to 4.5 PTV units, depending on the nature and the surface characteristics of the material, with an average standard deviation of 2.4 PTV units. SIST EN 13036-4:2011
Validation and Calibration of the pendulum friction tester A.1 Validation of the performance of the Pendulum Tester A.1.1 General A.1.1.1 To ensure consistency of readings, the operation of the pendulum tester shall be validated daily, prior to and after use, using the method described below. It should also be used on return from calibration to check for damage in transit. A.1.1.2 The validation procedure comprises one set of readings in the wet condition on two standard surfaces, representing high and low PTV. A.1.1.3 The standard surfaces shall be wet float glass, free from contamination and scratches and a wet piece of verification film mounted on float glass. The verification film shall be used on one day only. A.1.1.4 The values obtained shall be used to monitor the performance of the operation of the pendulum tester until it is next calibrated.

The SIST EN 13036-4:2011 standard presents a well-defined methodology for assessing the slip/skid resistance of surfaces, particularly relevant for both road and airfield applications. Its scope focuses on a precise testing methodology that utilizes a pendulum device at a fixed test location, an approach that balances simplicity with accuracy. One of the strengths of this standard is its ability to deliver measurable slip/skid resistance values through the pendulum test, making it suitable for a variety of environments - both in situ and in a controlled laboratory setting. This flexibility is crucial for stakeholders who require reliable data on surface characteristics to ensure safety and performance standards are met. The specificity of the test area, approximately 0.01 m², highlights the standard's focus on localized measurements, which is beneficial when examining surfaces known for non-homogeneous characteristics, such as those with ridges or rough textures. This targeted approach allows for a nuanced understanding of slip/skid resistance in diverse situations, enabling informed decision-making for surface treatment and maintenance. However, it is important to acknowledge that the results produced by the pendulum test represent only a localized sample; thus, they may not provide a comprehensive assessment of larger surface areas, especially those subject to variations in texture or material. Users must weigh this limitation against the detail and clarity provided by the pendulum's findings. Overall, the SIST EN 13036-4:2011 standard is highly relevant for professionals seeking a dependable testing methodology for slip/skid resistance, ensuring that assessments are accurate and appropriate for the safety of users in both road and airfield contexts. Its capacity for localized testing combined with extensive applicability reinforces its significance in the realm of surface characterization.
SIST EN 13036-4:2011 표준은 도로 및 비행장 표면의 특성을 평가하기 위한 테스트 방법을 구체적으로 규명하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 범위는 표면의 미끄럼/슬립 저항을 측정하기 위한 방법으로, 균일한 위치에서 정지돼 있는 장치를 사용하여 수행됩니다. 이 표준의 주된 강점은 간편한 펜듈럼 테스트를 통해 표면의 미끄럼 저항 특성을 필드 또는 실험실에서 효과적으로 평가할 수 있다는 점입니다. 슬라이더가 펜듈럼 팔 끝에 장착되어 있어, 소규모 표면(약 0.01 m²)의 미끄럼 저항을 측정하는데 최적화되어 있습니다. 이로 인해 특정 상황에서의 실용성을 향상시키며, 공항 활주로나 도로의 안전성을 평가하는 데 유용한 데이터 제공이 가능합니다. 또한, 이 표준은 비균일한 표면 특성을 가지고 있는 경우의 적용 가능성에 대한 주의 사항을 명확히 하고 있습니다. 예를 들어, 표면이 능선이나 홈을 포함하고 있는 경우나 패치 테스트 기준인 1.2mm 이상이 거칠게 텍스처화된 경우, 테스트 결과의 해석에 대한 신중함을 요구합니다. 이는 표면 특성의 다양성을 고려한 중요한 점이며, 다양한 환경 조건에서도 표준의 유효성을 보장합니다. 결과적으로, SIST EN 13036-4:2011 표준은 도로 및 비행장 표면의 미끄럼 저항을 평가하는 데 있어 체계적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 방법론을 제공하며, 관련 산업에서의 안전 및 품질 관리를 위한 필수적인 기준으로 자리잡고 있습니다.
SIST EN 13036-4:2011は、道路および空港の表面特性に関する欧州標準の一部であり、特に表面の滑り抵抗・スキッド抵抗を測定するためのペンデュラムテストによる方法を定義しています。この標準の範囲は、試験地点に固定された装置を使用して、滑り・スキッド抵抗を評価する点にあります。 この標準の強みは、現場または実験室で滑り抵抗を定量的に測定できる点です。ペンデュラムアームの先端に取り付けられたスライダーを利用して、約0.01 m²の小さな表面エリアにおける滑り・スキッド抵抗特性を評価します。しかし、この方法は、表面特性が非均一な場合、すなわち隆起や溝を含む場合、または1.2 mmを超える粗いテクスチャを持つ場合に適用する際には注意が必要です。 重要な留意点として、この試験から得られる結果は限られた小さな場所に基づいているため、長い表面の滑り・スキッド抵抗を測定するモバイルデバイスなどの結果と比較することはできません。この点も、標準の利用にあたって考慮するべき重要な要素です。 総じて、SIST EN 13036-4:2011は、滑りおよびスキッド抵抗の計測手法を一元化することで、道路や空港の安全性に貢献する重要な規範であり、特定の条件下での適用性についても明確にガイドラインを提供しています。
La norme SIST EN 13036-4:2011 se distingue par son approche méthodologique rigoureuse pour l'évaluation des caractéristiques de résistance au glissement et au patinage des surfaces routières et aéroportuaires. Son objectif principal est de fournir un cadre d'essai standardisé qui permet de mesurer la résistance au glissement à l'aide d'un dispositif statique, ce qui en fait un outil fiable pour les ingénieurs et les professionnels du domaine. L’un des points forts de cette norme est sa capacité à évaluer la résistance au glissement d’une petite zone de surface, d'environ 0,01 m². Cela permet des tests précis dans des conditions contrôlées, tant en laboratoire qu'en situation réelle, ce qui est essentiel pour les surfaces présentant des caractéristiques non homogènes comme des crêtes ou des rainures. En effet, la norme souligne que ces variables doivent être prises en compte pour assurer la pertinence des résultats obtenus. De plus, la méthode du test de pendule, qui consiste à utiliser un curseur monté au bout d'un bras de pendule, est particulièrement efficace pour fournir un indice clair de la sécurité d'une surface en termes de glissement. Cela est d'autant plus pertinent dans le cadre de la sécurité routière et de l'aviation, où la résistance au glissement peut influencer directement la sécurité des usagers. Il est à noter que les résultats du test sont spécifiques à un emplacement limité. Ainsi, la norme incite à la prudence lorsqu'il s'agit de comparer des résultats obtenus avec des appareils mobiles qui mesurent la résistance au glissement sur de grandes surfaces. Cette distinction est cruciale pour éviter des interprétations erronées des données, renforçant ainsi l'importance de la précision des essais effectués selon cette norme. En conclusion, la norme SIST EN 13036-4:2011 représente une référence incontournable pour la mesure de la résistance au glissement des surfaces, grâce à sa méthodologie solide et à sa pertinence dans des applications pratiques variées.
Die Norm SIST EN 13036-4:2011 befasst sich mit den Oberflächeneigenschaften von Straßen und Flugplätzen, insbesondere mit den Testmethoden zur Bestimmung des Rutsch-/Gleitwiderstands von Oberflächen. Diese spezifische Methode zielt darauf ab, einen präzisen und zuverlässigen Ansatz zur Messung des Rutschwiderstands einer Oberfläche zu bieten, indem ein Pendeltest durchgeführt wird, bei dem ein Messgerät an einem festen Ort bleibt. Zu den Stärken dieser Norm gehört die Fähigkeit, den Rutsch-/Gleitwiderstand sowohl im Freien als auch im Labor zu messen. Diese Flexibilität ermöglicht es Fachleuten in der Bau- und Ingenieurbranche, die Sicherheit von Belägen unter unterschiedlichsten Bedingungen zu bewerten. Der Pendeltest selbst ist einfach durchzuführen und liefert unmittelbare Ergebnisse für die Rutschsicherheit einer kleinen Oberfläche von etwa 0,01 m². Eine wesentliche Relevanz der Norm ist ihr Hinweis auf die Anwendbarkeit der Methode bei Oberflächen mit nicht-homogenen Eigenschaften, wie z.B. solchen mit Rillen oder einem rauen Textur. Die Norm warnt jedoch auch davor, dass aufgrund der Messung an nur einem kleinen Bereich der Oberfläche die Ergebnisse nicht mit jenen von Geräten verglichen werden können, die den Rutsch-/Gleitwiderstand über längere Strecken erfassen. Diese Einschränkung sollte bei der Interpretation der Testergebnisse berücksichtigt werden und unterstreicht die Bedeutung, die Auswertungen kontextgerecht zu betrachten. Zusammengefasst bietet die SIST EN 13036-4:2011 einen standardisierten, soliden Rahmen für die Bewertung des Rutsch-/Gleitwiderstands von Oberflächen, der sowohl für Fachleute als auch für Forschungszwecke von großer Bedeutung ist. Die klare Fokussierung auf die Methodik und die praktischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten machen diese Norm zu einem wertvollen Instrument in der Straßen- und Flugplatzbauindustrie.
