What is the maximum allowable floor slope in the inspection area?

The maximum allowable floor slope in the inspection area is 1 percent. This specification is set to ensure that there is minimal water accumulation on the floor, which can lead to safety hazards and affect the performance of equipment used during the inspection process. A slope of 1 percent means that for every 100 units of horizontal distance, the floor may rise or fall by 1 unit, which creates a gentle incline that facilitates drainage without compromising stability or causing discomfort for inspectors and technicians working in the area.

A steeper slope, such as 2 percent or 5 percent, could create challenges and risks in terms of fluid management and worker safety. Additionally, a floor slope of 0.5 percent is indeed less than the maximum allowable slope, but the 1 percent slope strikes an optimal balance between functionality and safety. Therefore, adhering to the 1 percent maximum slope ensures compliance with safety and operational standards in auto inspection facilities.
