Stellmann achieves non-slip certification by CSIRO

Stellmann Australia provides world-class non-slip coatings which are tested and certified by independent experts. In the most recent test run, CSIRO Australia confirmed Stellmann coatings meet and exceed the Australian standards for slip resistance (AS 4586:2013) with outstanding results.

Pendulum Test - Slip Resistance

Stellmann Non-Slip coatings are used to eliminate slipping incidents on a wide range of surfaces. Our coatings are used to make showers, baths, pool areas, decks, yachts, kitchens and other slippery areas safe. We frequently test and certify our non-slip solutions by independent experts. Examples include European Standards (DIN51097 and 51130), British Standards (BS 7976) and the Australian Standard for slip-resistance (AS 4586:2013).

In March 2020, CSIRO proved that Stellmann non-slip coatings meet and exceed the Australian Standard for Slip Resistance, AS 4586:2013. Our dual component coatings were certified with P4 and P5 non-slip classes. This means every slippery surface, both trafficked barefoot and on shoes, can be made slip resistant by applying Stellmann.

Tests & Results

Stellmann was tested by CSIRO for the slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials using the Wet Pendulum Test Method. Both our single and dual component coatings were tested to determine the Slip Resistance Value (SRV) and the corresponding non-slip class. Using a pendulum tester with slider 96 (shoe areas), a mean SRV of 54 and 56 were achieved, translating to P4 and P5 slip resistance classifications. Using slider 55, to test barefoot surfaces, a mean SRV of 76 and 78 were achieved, resulting in a P5 slip resistance classification for both our coatings.
