ANSI E1.34-2009 (R2024)
Entertainment Technology - Measuring and Specifying the Slipperiness of Floors Used in Live Performance Venues
ANSI E1.34 describes a very simple drag-sled for measuring the slipperiness of a performance floor, and two procedures to use with the sled. One uses standardized stainless steel feet on the sled to give a coefficient of friction number that can be used to describe the floor in a general way. The second procedure measures the slipperiness with a performer's shoe sole materials. ANSI E1.34 is intended for performance floors; it is not intended for measuring the slipperiness of normal walking surfaces, such as hallways and sidewalks.
