ANSI NFSI B101.5 Standard guide for uniform labeling method for identifying the wet static and wet dynamic coefficient of friction (traction) of floor coverings, floor coveri

This standard is a guideline that sets forth a uniform product labeling method which identifies the wet static and wet dynamic coefficient of friction (traction) of floor coverings, floor coverings with coatings, and treated floor coverings.

This standard applies to floor products used primarily on public and private areas where pedestrians are not supervisory controlled. The term “floor products” refers to floor coverings, coatings, and treatments intended for floor coverings except carpeting, rugs, mats, runners, and artificial turf.

The purpose is to offer, at the point of product sale, guidance to users/purchasers on the traction capabilities of the package through display of labels and markings.
