Slip resistance and slip safety

One of the fundamental characteristics of porcelain stoneware is that of being able to offer surfaces with different degrees of resistance to slipperiness, there is a product suitable for every environment, internal and external in aesthetic continuity, residential and public.

When choosing the floor, it is of fundamental importance to take into account the R parameter indicated on the product technical data sheet (R9, R10, R11, R12) in order to guarantee a technically adequate surface in each place and to avoid slipping accidents.

Only products with a polished/lapped finish by their nature do not have anti-slip certification, have a perfectly smooth surface, are often used for flooring but in risk-free environments and where there is no high traffic of people.

By convention in many European countries the slip resistance of floors is measured with the German assessment classes DIN 51130 and DIN 51097

DIN 51130 (R) ANTISLIP CLASSIFICATIONS

Conformity of the tiles for laying in rooms where you walk with shod feet

Classification	Slip resistance	Suitable environments
R9	Low	Entrance areas and stairs with access from the outside. Restaurants and canteens, shops, clinics, hospitals, schools.
R10	Average	Communal toilets and showers, small kitchens and exercises for restaurants, garages and basements.
R11	High	Environments for food production. Medium kitchens of catering establishments. Work environments with strong presence of water and mud, laboratories, laundries, hangars.
R12	Very high	Environments for the production of foods rich in fats such as dairy products and derivatives, oils and cured meats. Great kitchens for catering. Industrial preparations with the use of substances slippery. Car parks.

DIN 51097 (A+B+C) ANTISLIP CLASSIFICATIONS

Conformity of the tiles for laying in areas where you walk barefoot (swimming pools, wellness, changing rooms, etc.)

Classification	Slip resistance	Suitable environments
A	High	Changing rooms, barefoot access areas, etc.
A+B	Very high	Showers, edges of swimming pools etc.
A+B+C	Extremely high	Edges of sloping but underwater swimming pools, submerged stairs, passageways between one swimming pool and another, areas where there is the possibility of stagnant water.

France

In France, the slip resistance of porcelain stoneware floors is regulated by the technical standard NF EN 14231, which provides for four slip risk classes: R9, R10, R11 and R12.

NF EN 14231 (R) ANTISLIP CLASSIFICATIONS

Risk class	Description	Intended use
R9	Low slip resistance	Dry places, without the risk of accidental falls, such as offices, shops, meeting rooms, etc.
R10	Medium slip resistance	Surfaces that are only occasionally wet, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.
R11	High slip resistance	Permanently wet surfaces, e.g. in swimming pools, showers, saunas, etc.
R12	Maximum slip resistance	Surfaces exposed to chemicals or oily substances, such as kitchens, laboratories, workshops, etc.

It is important to underline that the indications provided are only indicative, the assessment of the slipping risk class of a floor depends on many factors, including the environment in which it is installed, the presence of chemicals or oils, and the frequency of floor cleaning and maintenance. There are situations where the slip risk rating may be higher than normal, for example in public areas with high traffic where the risk of falling is higher.
