Pool Slip Testing in Ipswich

Ipswich pool landscape

Ipswich has the Crown Pools — one of the major UK aquatics venues — alongside hotel pool stock across the town centre and waterfront, the University of Suffolk aquatics facilities, and partner-trust-operated leisure centres.

Typical Ipswich instructions

Typical Ipswich instructions include: major aquatics venue periodic compliance; leisure trust testing; hotel-group periodic testing across the waterfront estate; and pre-handover testing on commercial pool refurbishments.

UKAS-accredited testing across Suffolk

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