Frequently asked questions
In Europe, the slip resistance of ceramic tiles is identified using a classification scale known as the R9 to R13 scale. This scale ranges from R9, indicating a low level of slip resistance, to R13, indicating a high level of slip resistance.
Slip resistance is measured through a wet pendulum test, which determines the tile surface’s ability to prevent slipping when wet. The test result is expressed as a classification on the R scale.
It is important to note that the R classification is not a uniform standard across Europe, but varies by country.
The R9 to R13 scale measures the slip resistance of ceramic tiles and is a way to express the result of a wet pendulum test. The difference between each R classification is the level of slip resistance of the tile surface.
R9: Indicates a low level of slip resistance. Tiles rated R9 are considered more slippery when wet.
R10: Indicates a moderate level of slip resistance. R10 tiles are less slippery than R9, but still somewhat slippery when wet.
R11: Indicates a moderate-high level of slip resistance. R11 tiles are less slippery than R10, but not yet completely slip-resistant.
R12: Indicates a high level of slip resistance. R12 tiles are very slip-resistant and provide greater safety when wet.
R13: Indicates the highest level of slip resistance. R13 tiles are highly slip-resistant and provide maximum safety when wet.
It is important to note that the R scale may vary slightly depending on the country and local regulations.
The R-type slip resistance classification (R9 to R13) and the 0, 1, 2, or 3 classification are two different systems for measuring slip resistance in flooring.
The R-type system is mainly used in Europe and measures the slip resistance of ceramic tiles through a wet pendulum test. The classification ranges from R9 (low slip resistance) to R13 (high slip resistance).
The C0, C1, C2, or C3 classification system is used in Spain for accessibility in construction. This standard requires interior and exterior floors to be slip-resistant to prevent slips and falls. The classification ranges from class 0 (low slip resistance) to class 3 (high slip resistance).
CLASS 0: These floors have the lowest level of slip resistance, meaning they are the most slippery, and are generally not used in areas requiring safety conditions.
CLASS 1: C1 slip-resistant floors start to be more commonly used, perfect for certain areas like kitchens and bathrooms. They protect against falls and risks but are not the most suitable according to the classification.
CLASS 2: Class 2 slip-resistant floors have a strong impact in the flooring sector, as they begin to be used in other areas such as shower floors, outdoor areas, pool decks, and beaches.
CLASS 3: Under the slip-resistant flooring standard, class 3 floors have a resistance higher than 45, meaning they offer high protection against falls, slips, and accidents in more hazardous areas.
