In the US, a tile's slip resistance is measured by its wet Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) per ANSI A326.3, with 0.42 established as the minimum threshold for level interior floors that are expected to get wet. However, standard DCOF ratings do not explicitly cover sloped shower floors, ramps, or pool decks. In those spaces, physical factors like grout joint frequency, tile size, surface texture, and manufacturer product-use declarations provide better practical safety than a single spec number. Before purchasing, review the manufacturer’s technical spec sheet and order physical samples to test the tile's finish in person.
