How can I tell how slip-resistant a tile is?

"Hi.

Usually, a shiny gloss tile will be very slippery when wet. For a good none slip floor tile you're looking for a Matt finish and maybe an unsmooth surface like natural stone for extra grip.

Kind regards Steven Davis

"Skid resistance scales are used to determine the degree of slippage on a tiled surface. While assessing different tile surfaces, wet and dry conditions along with the speed of the subject are monitored. Also, the required force to move that subject and the angle of the tiled surface are considered too"
