Title: Bathtub Slip Resistance Study.
OMB Number: New.
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: The objective of this study
is to conduct human slip research on
three bathtubs on the market and to
measure the friction demand of
participants stepping into and out of the
bathtubs when dry and wet. CPSC
contracted with Arizona State
University (ASU) to conduct this study.
Participants will be recruited from the
Phoenix, Arizona metro area. The
experiments will be conducted at ASU’s
Locomotion Research Laboratory. The
study will involve a total of three
sessions to test three bathtub surfaces,
where participants will walk into the
tub and step out, while wearing fall
arresting harness systems for safety.
During these sessions, resistance forces
under the foot and motion of the foot
movements will be measured. The study
will quantify the minimum frictional
performance required for a bathing

surface to reduce slips and falls. CPSC
staff will share the results of the study
with the ASTM F15.03 Committee on
Safety Standards for Bathtub and
Shower Structure working on replacing
ASTM F462.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: Falls are the leading cause
of injury and death for older adults 65
and older.3 Information collected as part
of the bathtub slip resistance study is
needed initially to support CPSC staff in
efforts to work with the ASTM F15.03
Committee on Safety Standards for
Bathtub and Shower Structures to
replace the obsolete ASTM F462
standard for bathing surface friction that
ASTM withdrew in 2016. This study
will be used to inform CPSC staff of
major requirements needed to achieve
an efficient and effective slip-resistance
standard.
Affected Public: Adults between ages
18 and 95 years old.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
We expect up to 200 respondents
annually. Over the full authorized
period of the study, which is three
years, up to 600 respondents may
participate.
Frequency: One.
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
Though response times will vary, on
average, it will take 2.5 hours for
respondents to fully participate in the
study. Therefore, the annual estimated
response burden is 500 hours (200
responses × 2.5 hours per response).
Total Estimated Annual Burden Cost:
There are no costs to respondents and
no respondent recordkeeping
requirements associated with the study.
There are no operating, maintenance, or
capital costs associated with the
collection. Participants will receive
$100 for participation in the study.
Request for Comments:
CPSC requests that interested parties
submit comments regarding this
proposed information collection (see the
ADDRESSES section at the beginning of
this notice). Pursuant to 44 U.S.C.
