When it comes to footwear safety, slip resistance is non-negotiable. The SATRA STM 603 slip resistance test machine is the global benchmark for determining how footwear performs when things get slick.

Developed from decades of biomechanical research, STM 603 simulates real-world walking conditions, striking heel-first, loading naturally and slipping dynamically. It accurately measures the coefficient of friction, giving a clear picture of how footwear will behave on any surface, whether wet or dry.

Whether you are manufacturing trainers, work boots, safety shoes or school footwear, STM 603 will enable you to meet with confidence the SATRA TM144:2021 ‘Friction (slip resistance) of footwear and floorings’ test method, and global safety standards including EN ISO 13287, ASTM F2913 and GB/T 3903.6.
