Pool Slip Testing in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne pool landscape

Newcastle upon Tyne is the dominant city for pool stock in the North East, with substantial leisure centre stock operated by Newcastle City Council partner trusts, hotel pools across the city centre and the Quayside, and the Newcastle University aquatics facilities.

Typical Newcastle upon Tyne instructions

Typical Newcastle instructions include: leisure trust periodic compliance; hotel-group periodic testing across the city centre and Quayside; care home and retirement-community pool testing across the wider North East; and expert witness instructions for the regional PI bar.

UKAS-accredited testing across Tyne and Wear

We deliver UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pendulum and surface roughness testing in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the wider Tyne and Wear 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.
