1   Scope 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.
