The ASTM F2913-19 standard, published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), describes a test method for determining the coefficient of dynamic friction between shoes and flooring under repeatable laboratory conditions to evaluate relative slip performance. This test method is generally applied to the following products:
This method is also applied to surfaces such as block pavement, grass and gravel.
Special-purpose shoes or hardware containing spikes, metal nails or the like are tested on suitable surfaces, but the method does not fully account for the risk of snagging due to shoe/floor lock.
Slip resistance testing is a complex process, and an effective slip testing machine needs to check and measure a number of key criteria that reproduce critical factors of slip while walking. This standard therefore provides a quantitative assessment of shoe safety. This test method is a standard test method used to determine the dynamic coefficients of friction that extends to producing slip resistant shoes.
The ASTM F2913-19 standard provides a defined, repeatable test method for evaluating the dynamic coefficient of friction for all shoes under a variety of conditions and in modes that simulate walking gait. This standard defines the following three walking modes to determine the coefficient of friction. includes:
Evaluation of the slip performance of shoes and test surfaces / floor coverings by using a shoe test device within the scope of ASTM F2913-19 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors. It also provides standard testing services for measuring the friction coefficient for
