| Step Edge Contrast - Functional Requirements |
|
In order to prevent slips and falls the step edge strips are slip resistant, provide visual contrast to define the edge and are highly durable to ensure that they are not worn out by high foot traffic, rendering them ineffective. Contrast meets appropriate Light Reflectance Value (LRV) difference or Luminance Contrast Value for the particular jurisdiction (see tables here). When the products are being used to meet accessibility codes the width of the strip will be determined by the code requirement in the particular jurisdiction. Slip resistance meets the appropriate slip resistance test for the region (read here).
