Pool Slip Testing in Glasgow

Glasgow pool landscape

Glasgow has the Tollcross International Swimming Centre as one of the major UK aquatics venues, alongside leisure centres operated by Glasgow Life and partner trusts, hotel pool stock across the city centre, and the University of Glasgow aquatics facilities.

Typical Glasgow instructions

Typical Glasgow instructions include: major aquatics venue periodic compliance; leisure trust testing across the Glasgow Life estate; hotel-group periodic testing; expert witness instructions for both Scottish-jurisdiction and cross-border pool claims (test methodology is the same regardless of jurisdiction).

UKAS-accredited testing across Scotland

We deliver UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pendulum and surface roughness testing in Glasgow 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.
