DIN 51130
Slip resistance DIN51130
We have tested our Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya under the DIN 51130 standard, to certify its good
properties of slip resistance. This reference had been already tested before under the Spanish
standard UNE-ENV 12633:2003, which is the one required by the CTE (Spanish Technical Building
Code).
The tests were carried out in several panels (1000x500 mm.) which consisted of ceramics with
different classications of slipperiness, combined with our Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya proles as it
is shown in the picture.
These tests were carried out by qualied operators of the ITC (Technological Institute of Ceramics).
The results are also available for our reference Novopeldaño® Maxi. Please, check its technical le.
The graph below represents the global results after the tests. The dark red line represents the results for the original ooring,
and the clear one the results in combination with Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya.
The rst ooring tested had a low initial value (2.3), that improved up to 6.5 with Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya, which means
that the initial sliding ooring became a non-slip R9 ooring. The second ooring, certied as R9 (9.4 value) improved its slip
resistance value up to 12.7, changing its classication from R9 class to R10 class. Finally, the last ooring classied as R10 with
a value of 17.6, in combination with the prole got a result of 23.7 and R11 class.
