UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Aberdeen — to BS 7976 and HSE standards. Reports your insurer, HSE inspector and court will recognise. We don't sell flooring, coatings or anti-slip products.
Aberdeen is the offshore-energy capital of the UK, with the harbour, the heliport and the Energy Transition Zone supporting a substantial oil, gas and increasingly renewables industrial base. Combined with the Union Square retail centre, two universities, and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, the slip-testing profile is dominated by heavy-industry environments where wet-process floors, dock surfaces and offshore-supply-base concrete are part of daily operations.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Aberdeen — from a single shop owner to a national retail estate — has a legal obligation to assess and manage slip risk. A UKAS-accredited Pendulum Test Value (PTV) report is the strongest documented evidence available, and it carries the same weight in Aberdeen as it does anywhere else in the UK.
Surface Performance Ltd, trading as Test-Slip, has UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — the highest level of laboratory accreditation in the UK. We don't sell flooring, coatings, mats or anti-slip retrofits. The only thing we sell is the test, the report, and the qualified opinion behind both — so the result you get is the result the floor produced, not the result that suits a sales pipeline.
Aberdeen's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and the AWPR / A90 corridor are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Offshore energy and supply base operations at Aberdeen Harbour and Dyce.
Retail at Union Square, the Trinity Centre and Union Street.
Universities and healthcare at Aberdeen, RGU and ARI.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Union Square, Union Street, the Harbour, Dyce and Old Aberdeen — and the wider Scotland region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Aberdeen produces a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) figure. The HSE classifies floors against this value — a single accredited test gives you the evidence to demonstrate which zone your floor sits in.
