NFSI CERTIFICATION

NFSI Certified Slip-Resistant Floor Mats

The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) is a non-profit organization that independently tests and certifies products for slip resistance. NFSI certification is the most widely recognized standard for floor safety in commercial environments. Products that earn the "High-Traction" certification have been tested for Transitional Coefficient of Friction (TCOF) under both lab conditions and real-world use.

OSHA recommends a minimum TCOF of 0.60 for safe walking surfaces. M+A Matting products that carry NFSI certification meet or exceed this threshold, providing measurable slip-and-fall risk reduction in wet and dry conditions alike.

For facility managers and safety officers, NFSI certification provides documented, third-party verification that your matting meets nationally recognized safety standards — which is critical for liability protection and insurance compliance.

ADA COMPLIANCE

ADA-Compliant Commercial Floor Mats

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that floor and ground surfaces in public places be "stable, firm, and slip resistant" (Section 302.1). While floor mats are not technically classified as "carpet" under ADA (per ADA technical guidance), they must still be placed and maintained in a way that doesn't create tripping hazards — and they must meet beveled-edge requirements where changes in level occur.

M+A Matting products are designed with ADA requirements in mind. Beveled edges meet the Section 302.3 requirement that level changes between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch be beveled at a slope no steeper than 1:2. Rubber-backed mats provide the stable, non-shifting surface that ADA compliance requires. And NFSI-certified products provide documented slip-resistance that exceeds ADA minimums.

Key point: Carpet remnants, unbeveled mats, unbacked mats, rippled vinyl-backed mats, and scatter rugs do NOT meet ADA requirements and should be removed from any commercial facility. Commercial-grade mats with rubber backing and beveled edges are the compliant choice.

SUSTAINABILITY

LEED Credits & Green Building Compliance

The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system recognizes entrance matting as a component of indoor environmental quality and sustainable facility management. Properly installed entrance matting systems can contribute to LEED credits in two key areas.

IEQ Credit: Entryway Systems

LEED awards credit for utilizing entryway systems (grilles, grates, mats) that reduce the amount of dirt, dust, pollen, and other particles entering the building. A matting system extending 10+ feet at primary entrances qualifies.

MR Credit: Recycled Content

Products containing at least 10% post-consumer or 20% post-industrial recycled material earn Materials & Resources credits. Select M+A Matting products, including the WaterHog ECO line, are made from up to 100% recycled PET content (recycled plastic bottles) and contain 20%+ recycled rubber backing.

Beyond formal LEED credits, high-performance entrance matting reduces a facility's reliance on cleaning chemicals, extends the life of interior flooring, and improves indoor air quality by trapping particulates at the door. These are sustainability benefits that matter whether or not you're pursuing formal LEED certification.
