Our independence from flooring suppliers, remediation contractors, and legal firms means our results are objective and credible in any context, whether for compliance audits, insurance claims, or legal proceedings.
Melbourne’s scale, density, and diverse built environment generate significant demand for independent slip resistance testing across commercial, retail, healthcare, aged care, strata, education, and construction sectors. We bring the same accredited, rigorous approach to every Melbourne engagement that we deliver across Australia.
Australian Slip Testing conducts on-site, non-disruptive slip resistance testing across Melbourne using NATA-accredited methods in accordance with AS 4586 and AS 4663.
Wet Pendulum Slip Testing is the most widely used slip test method in Australia, measuring slip resistance under wet conditions using a calibrated pendulum device. It applies to commercial, retail, external, and public environments and is widely accepted in legal and insurance contexts. Visit our wet pendulum slip testing guide.
Dry Floor Friction Testing measures the Coefficient of Friction on dry internal surfaces using the Tortus Floor Friction Tester. It is used for internal environments expected to remain dry, including corridors, office lobbies, and retail spaces. Visit our dry floor friction testing guide.
All results are classified in accordance with AS 4586. For a full explanation of P, D, and R ratings, visit our guide to Australian slip resistance ratings.
