Floor surface requirements for corridors and passageways

Corridor and passageway floors must have suitable slip resistance and be level or have a gradient less steep than 1 in 20; steeper gradients require ramps and landings.

The floor of a corridor or passageway should – (a) have a surface that has a suitable slip resistance; and (b) be level, or contain a gradient in the direction of travel less steep than 1 in 20. However, where the floor has a gradient of 1 in 20 or steeper, a ramp or ramps and landings, should be provided.
