Pool surrounds require Slider 55 (barefoot) testing. The specific wet-state behaviour of pool surrounds is a distinct regulatory category.
Our UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation covers every common flooring material installed in Welsh commercial premises. Reports comply with BS 7976-2, BS EN 16165, and — where relevant — EN 13036-4 for road-surface texture assessment and EN 14231 for natural stone sample testing.
When to test swimming pools.
- Before specification — verifying product performance in the wet state
- Post-installation — confirming the floor meets the specification
- After an incident — forensic PTV measurement for insurance or legal defence
- Annual compliance — documented evidence of ongoing performance
- Before/after treatment — proving an anti-slip coating actually worked
