The commercial scenarios that drive UKAS-accredited pendulum and Rz testing across UK pool operators — each with its own evidential requirements, deadlines and downstream uses.
After a slip incident at a pool — guest, member, pupil, patient — the most important task is to capture the surface in the condition it was at the time of the accident, before cleaning, remediation or...
