BS 7941-2:2000

This standard BS 7941-2:2000 Methods for measuring the skid resistance of pavement surfaces is classified in these ICS categories:

• 93.080.20 Road construction materials
• 17.040.20 Properties of surfaces

This British Standard describes a method for determining the skid resistance of a surface using the GripTester continuous reading braked wheel fixed slip device.

The method is applicable to the following:

• highways: surfacings;

• highways: horizontal signs;

• airport runways;

• flight decks;

• footways;

• pedestrian precincts;

• test panels of surfaces intended for any of the above.

The method is for measurement of skid resistance along a continuous surface on external paved surfaces or indoors. Test speeds can vary from 5 km/h to 130 km/h depending on the application. The measured values can be affected by the test speed.
