ABOUT US

Independent Slip Testing Services is the trusted global leader in accredited slip resistance measurement and classification of pedestrian surface materials.

Many countries now require minimum slip resistance classifications to meet building and construction code requirements. If you create, supply or install pedestrian surface materials, an independent, accredited classification is a useful tool to Reduce Your Risk! providing confidence to all stakeholders the product performs as specified.

Avoiding the costly process of sending samples to multiple countries for individual classification; ISTS provides cost-effective NATA (ILAC) accredited classification from the one set of specimens to the following national standards… with the added advantage of having your reports submitted within twenty-four hours.
