Assessment methods for the parameters requested in the
Code
15.1.1. Pavements
The product provider shall provide technical slipperiness parameters in PTV units. If the
data are not provided the material should be tested in a laboratory before it is accepted.
15.1.2. Lighting
Can be measured with a Lux meter
15.1.3. Reflectance
Light Reflectance Value (LRV) also called Albedo is usually provided by paints and
flooring materials. It can be also measured with an App called Albedo with a Balance
Calibration Card with 18% of grey.
15.1.4. Carpet resistance
Rugs and carpets should be firmly fixed to the floor and shall not increase the strength
required to roll over a ceramic pavement by more than 25%. This can be measured with
a dynamometer comparing the effort required to more a person seating in a wheelchair
in both surfaces.
15.1.5. Strength required
A dynamometer is the appropriate tool to be used.
15.1.6. Bars and handrails resistance
Apply a 102kg. of wait on top of the bar or handrail.
