UKAS slip testing for
tennis courts.

UKAS accredited slip resistance testing for tennis facilities — acrylic hard courts, indoor carpet courts, clubhouse circulation areas. Performance and safety testing for LTA-affiliated and independent clubs.

Why tennis courts commission UKAS accredited slip testing

Tennis clubs commission slip testing for two distinct reasons. First, player slip injuries on hard courts are a source of insurance claims. Second, pre-competition acceptance testing establishes that courts meet governing body performance specs without crossing into safety-hazard territory. UKAS accredited evidence addresses both.

Specific issues we see in tennis courts

Which standards apply

BS EN 16165 Annex C for pedestrian and clubhouse areas. Court surface testing references ITF and LTA performance frameworks where relevant. UKSRG Issue 6 operational protocol.

What you get

Common questions

Post-resurfacing acceptance?

Standard. Most court refurbishment specs require UKAS accredited acceptance testing at commissioning.

LTA-affiliated club — specific requirements?

LTA do not mandate specific UKAS testing. But claims-defence and insurance benefit is the same as any commercial operator.

Can you test during match play?

No — testing requires the court surface to be available for water contamination. Testing runs during court-closed periods.

Multi-court club — how many to test?

Typically 2-3 representative courts of each spec type per site, with mixed-wear zones sampled on each.
