UKAS slip testing for
pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Why pharmaceutical manufacturing commission UKAS accredited slip testing

Pharmaceutical manufacturers operate under GMP compliance with specific flooring requirements — typically seamless resin systems. Slip testing with representative wet-process contamination supports both employer's liability and product-integrity risk management. Classified-area testing requires specific protocols compatible with cleanroom operation.

Specific issues we see in pharmaceutical manufacturing

• Process room floors. Resin-sealed substrate with wet-process contamination.
• Wash-down and CIP zones. Pharmaceutical cleaning chemistry residue.
• Corridor transitions. Hygiene-cascade pressure-differential zones.
• Warehouse and cold-chain. Temperature-controlled zones with condensation risk.

Which standards apply

BS EN 16165 Annex C pendulum testing. Cleanroom-compatible protocols where needed. UKSRG Issue 6.

• PTV results for every test location, dry and wet
• Interpretation against BS EN 16165 and UKSRG benchmarks
• Photographic record of test locations
• Measurement uncertainty statements (required for admissibility)
• 5 working day turnaround from site visit to report

Common questions

Classified cleanroom access?

Our technicians work within classified area protocols where needed. Requires operator lead time for access planning.

GMP audit readiness?

UKAS evidence supports GMP audit trail for premises safety.

Contamination-free testing?

Testing equipment is wiped down; test water is contained. No cross-contamination risk.

Post-incident?
