Pool Slip Testing in Edinburgh

Edinburgh pool landscape

Edinburgh combines the Royal Commonwealth Pool — one of the major UK aquatics venues — with hotel pool stock across the New Town and city centre, leisure centres operated by Edinburgh Leisure, the University of Edinburgh facilities, and a year-round tourism economy that intensifies sharply during the August festivals.

Typical Edinburgh instructions

Typical Edinburgh instructions include: major aquatics venue periodic compliance; Edinburgh Leisure trust testing; hotel-group periodic compliance across the New Town and city-centre estate; and pre-acquisition due diligence for hotel asset transactions.

UKAS-accredited testing across Scotland

We deliver UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pendulum and surface roughness testing in Edinburgh and across the wider Scotland 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.
