Pool Slip Testing in Derby

Derby pool landscape

Derby has the Queen's Leisure Centre and Moorways Sports Village (with the Moorways Stadium pool — one of the major UK aquatics venues), alongside hotel pool stock across the city centre and the University of Derby aquatics facilities.

Typical Derby instructions

UKAS-accredited testing across Derbyshire

We deliver UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pendulum and surface roughness testing in Derby and across the wider Derbyshire region under the same accreditation that covers our national operations. Pendulum testing follows BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C (the current UK standard, replacing BS 7976-2 in February 2022) using Slider 55 for barefoot pool environments, with Slider 57 and Slider 96 added for sock and shod transitions where relevant. Reports are typically delivered within five working days of the visit, with urgent attendance available where post-incident or pre-handover deadlines require it.
