A DCOF value of > 0.42 is the new standard for tiles specified for commercial application in standard A137.1-2012, Section 9.6. It replaces the SCOF value of
> 0.60 referenced in ASTM C1028. For more information on the correlation between the two values and about the DCOF AcuTest visit the Tile Council of
North America's website:

MANUFACTURER'S WARNING:
- Tiles with DCOF Acutest values less than .42 are not recommended for use in areas with wet or slippery conditions. If such tiles are used as a walking
surface where water, ice, oil, great and/or other substances are present, such a condition could cause a reduction in foot traction and become unexpectedly
slippery resulting in a fall and personal injury. See ANSI standard A137.1 section 6.2.2.1.10, available at www.tcnatile.com/sections6.2.2.1.10.html.
- Water, oil, grease, etc. create slippery conditions. Floor applications with exposure to these conditions require extra caution in product selection. Not for
use on ramps.
- For additional information, refer to Factors to Consider.
- Since there is a shade variation on all natural products, the tile and trim supplied for your particular installation may not match these samples. Final
selection should be made from actual tiles and trim and not from tile and trim samples or color reproductions. Manufactured in accordance with ANSI
A137.1 standards.
