UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Belfast — 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.
Belfast is the capital and commercial centre of Northern Ireland, with Victoria Square, CastleCourt and the Cathedral Quarter driving city-centre retail and hospitality, alongside Titanic Quarter — one of the largest urban regeneration projects in Europe — and the Stormont estate. Slip testing in Belfast operates under the same UKAS framework recognised across the UK, and our reports are accepted equivalently by HSENI, HSE and insurers UK-wide.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Belfast — 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 Belfast 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.
Belfast's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Belfast, Greater Belfast and the M1/M2 motorway network are familiar with the operational realities of each.

Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Victoria Square, the Titanic Quarter, the Cathedral Quarter, Stormont and the Lisburn Road — and the wider Northern Ireland region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Belfast 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.
