Accredited Laboratories List
Every SATRA Accredited Laboratory is an independent provider of testing services in accordance with the SATRA standard but not a part of the SATRA Group of companies. Many laboratories are in-house operations set up and managed by product brands and their supply manufacturers.

SATRA test engineering
All SATRA test machines benefit from SATRA technical expertise from start to finish and are trialled first in SATRA laboratories. This gives our customers a supply chain advantage as the SATRA name is recognised, respected and valued in more than 70 countries.

SATRA test consumables
The consumables used in testing can greatly affect the results. Ensuring reliable, accurate and repeatable testing relies on many factors, not least the quality of any reference materials or consumables associated with the test method.

STM 603
Slip Resistance Machine
The SATRA slip resistance tester has been developed following extensive biomechanical studies and is representative of conditions encountered during walking when slip is most likely to occur.

HTE 703 / 903
Ozone Test Chamber
SATRA ozone testing technology has evolved as a result of more than 30 years of experience. State–of–the–art technology and construction techniques have been combined with expertise to produce a reliable, accurate, fully automated, labour and cost saving unit which is truly environmentally safe.
