Why Aberdeen & Grampian needs real PTV data.
Aberdeen & Grampian's offshore supply chain demands laboratory-grade traceability on every walking surface — helidecks, process modules, accommodation blocks and yard hardstandings. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 pendulum testing is the evidence standard energy-sector duty-holders require.
The UK's oil and gas capital — helidecks, process facilities, supply yards and a demanding audit and compliance regime.

Pendulum testing. Not opinion.
The pendulum method — defined in BS 7976 and BS EN 16165, and referenced throughout HSE guidance — is the only test HSE considers reliable on wet or contaminated floors. A rubber slider swings from a fixed height and drags across the test surface for exactly 127mm; energy lost to friction is recorded as a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) on a scale of 0 to 150.
HSE classifies any PTV below 25 as a high slip potential. 25–35 is moderate. A PTV of 36 or above, measured wet and dry with the correct reference slider, is the benchmark for a floor considered safe under normal use. Every report we produce in Aberdeen & Grampian is issued under our UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation (Lab 7933) — the method, the technician and the equipment are all independently audited.
