1.1This practice establishes a procedure for validating walkway tribometry using reference materials that have been ranked and differentiated by human subjects in a peer-reviewed study.

1.2This practice describes the necessary materials, specifications, and cleaning processes for reference materials.

1.3This practice applies to walkway tribometers without reference to the nature of the scale of the readings produced by them.

1.4The validation procedure defined by this practice is not intended to establish a “safe” threshold value for any walkway surface.

1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.7This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
