302.1 General.
Floor and ground surfaces shall be stable, firm, and slip resistant and shall comply with 302.

2. Areas of sport activity shall not be required to comply with 302.
Advisory 302.1 General. A stable surface is one that remains unchanged by contaminants or applied force, so that when the contaminant or force is removed, the surface returns to its original condition. A firm surface resists deformation by either indentations or particles moving on its surface. A slip-resistant surface provides sufficient frictional counterforce to the forces exerted in walking to permit safe ambulation.
