UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Dundee — 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.
Dundee's economy combines a fast-growing video-games and digital-media cluster around Abertay University, the V&A Dundee and the redeveloped Waterfront, with substantial life-sciences activity at the University of Dundee and Ninewells Hospital. The Overgate and Wellgate shopping centres, plus growing tourism on the Tay waterfront, add retail and hospitality dimensions to a slip-testing market that has expanded considerably since the V&A opened.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Dundee — 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 Dundee 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.
Dundee's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Dundee, Tayside and the A90/M90 corridors are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Life sciences and education at the University of Dundee, Abertay and Ninewells.
Tourism and culture at V&A Dundee, Discovery Point and the Waterfront.
Retail at the Overgate, Wellgate and Murraygate.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Waterfront, V&A Dundee, the Overgate, Broughty Ferry and Ninewells — and the wider Scotland region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Dundee 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.
