There are several different ways of testing the slip resistance of floor tiles, and tile suppliers should be able to advise the slip factor of tiles that they stock. It is important to chose the right floor tile for your project, for instance a wet area such as a swimming pool surround or shower area requires a higher degreee of slip resistance than a dry area.
The Tile Association has published a technical paper "The Slip Resistance of Hard Floor Coverings" which can be purchased from the TTA. You can complete a publication order form here. The UK Health and Safety Laboratories have a useful website on all aspects of safety including the slip resistance of tiles.
