For adjoining areas or other rooms with large surfaces, paragraph 3.4 of this Code of practice has to be considered. ***) Stairs according to number 0.3 are those possibly exposed to moisture brought in from outside. For adjoining areas, paragraph 3.4 of this Code of practice has to be observed. ****) If the same floor covering was laid in all areas, the displacement space can be lowered down to V4 after a risk analysis (taking into consideration the cleaning method, the working processes and the quantity of slippery substances on the floor). *****) The pedestrian areas which are not subject to a risk of slipping because of weather influences such as driving rain or moisture brought in. In connected work places with differing slip risks, where employees move from one work place to the other, the same floor covering of the higher valuation group should be used for the entire area. If floor coverings of different slip resistance are used in connected work rooms or areas, only floor coverings of two consecutive valuation groups should be used next to each other, e.g. valuation groups R10 and R11 or R11 and R12 etc. This also applies to corridors and stairs adjoining wet areas such as e.g. sanitary rooms. The floors must be even to avoid stumbling and pools of water. This can be achieved by letting the floors slope gently towards the floor drains. To facilitate cleaning it may be useful to use smooth, non-profiled floor coverings along the walls up to a distance of 15 cm, in corners and under machines which are firmly fixed to the floor. A rounded edge – carried out by a cove skirting between the walls and floor – is easier to clean than a rectangular edge. 25 Sewage treatment plants 25.1 Pump rooms R12 25.2 Rooms for sludge draining facilities R12 25.3 Rooms for screening equipment R12 25.4 Stands of workplaces, scaffolds and maintenance platforms R12 26 Fire brigade buildings 26.1 Vehicle parking places R12 26.2 Rooms for hose maintenance equipment R12 27 Financial institutions 27.1 Counter areas R9 28 Parking areas 28.1 Garages, car-parks not exposed to weather influences*****) R10 28.2 Garages, car-parks exposed to weather influences R11 (or R10 V4) 28.3 Open-air parking areas R11 (or R10 V4) 29 Schools and kindergartens 29.1 Entrance areas, corridors, assembly halls R9 29.2 Class rooms, group rooms R9 29.3 Stairs R9 29.4 Toilets, washrooms R10 29.5 Instructional kitchens in schools (also see no. 9) R10 29.6 Kitchens in kindergartens (also see no. 9) R10 29.7 Machine rooms for wood processing R10 29.8 Special rooms for handicrafts R10 29.9 Schoolyards R11 (or R10 V4) 30 Plant traffic routes in outdoor areas 30.1 Footpaths R11 (or R10 V4) 30.2 Loading platforms 30.2.1 covered R11 (or R10 V4) 30.2.2 not covered R12 V4 30.3 Sloping ramps (e.g. for wheel-chairs, loading platforms) R12 30.4.1 Tank-up areas R12 30.4.2 Tank-up areas, covered R11 Technical Information Price list 2010, status December 2009
7.12 Technical Information 1.2. Barefoot Areas Competent authority: Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, Fockensteinstraße 1, 81539 Munich, www.unfallkassen.de Floors in wet barefoot areas, e. g. swimming pools, hospitals as well as dressing rooms, washrooms and showers in sports and work facilities. Test standard: DIN 51097. Code of practice: GUV-I 8527 (GUV 26.17) “Floor coverings in wet barefoot areas”. Testing method: Inclined plane, walked on barefoot, wetting agent solution as test medium. The surfaces are smooth, micro-rough or slightly profiled. “Nonslip“ glazes with their micro-rough surfaces have proved excellently in practice. The various areas are assigned to the valuation groups. Information can be obtained from the German National Association of Accident Insurance Companies and Deutsche Steinzeug. Test on “inclined plane” Valuation groups A B C Angle of inclination >_12° >_18° >_24° Barefoot area Valuation Group A – Barefoot passages (nearly dry) – Individual and common dressing rooms – Pool floors in non-swimmer areas if the water depth is between 80 cm and 1.35 m in the entire area – Sauna and relaxation areas (nearly dry) The indicated angles of inclination exclusively serve for the assignment of the valuation groups and can not be equated with the angles of inclination of slopes/ramps. Valuation Group B – Barefoot passages not classified in group A – Showers and pool surrounds – Area of disinfecting spray facilities – Pool floors in non-swimmer areas if the water depth is less than 80 cm in certain areas – Non-swimmer sections of wave-action pools – Movable floors and paddling pools – Ladders leading into the water – Stairs leading into the water with a max. width of 1 m and handrails on both sides – Ladders and stairs outside the pool area – Relaxation steps and underwater ledges – Sauna and relaxation areas if not classified in group A Valuation Group C – Stairs leading into the water, not classified in group B – Walk-through pools – Inclined pool edge designs 1.3. Private Areas With regard to slip resistance, ceramic floor coverings in private areas are not subject to standard regulations. Independent of that, however, it is recommended to choose slip-resistant tiles according to your personal safety requirements. Technical Information Price list 2010, status December 2009
