NTRO TIPES CERTIFICATE | GRMS

OZGRIP CST by Global Road Maintenance Systems Pty Ltd (GRMS) is the latest Coloured Surface Treatment (CST) to be certified for usage on roads in Queensland.

Issued by the National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO), the Transport Infrastructure Product Evaluation Scheme (TIPES) Certificate evaluates products based on:

• Polished Aggregrate Friction Value (PAFV) and Particle Size Distribution for aggregate 
• skid resistance
• surface texture
• delamination
• stripping and raveling
• records of past performance of past application of the product, both in Australia and internationally

The joint Product Evaluation Panel (PEP) concluded that OZGRIP CST is suitable for use on heavily trafficked roads in Queensland and was awarded Full (Level 3) certification for the next three years.

TIPES Governance Manager, Nigel Powers said: “It is pleasing that GRMS has continued to show faith in the TIPES process, with OZGRIP HFST also previously evaluated and ultimately awarded Level 3 certification in September 2022."

Stephen Southgate, General Manager of GRMS, expressed that the TIPES scheme was a rigorous, but fair test: “Gaining approval for OZGRIP HFST, and now CST, is really important to us. We are proud that our products have received the highest level of TIPES Certification showing that they are fit-for-purpose and can be trusted by applicators, clients and road users alike."

Global Road Mainenance Systems now hold a Level 3 Certification from NTRO (previously ARRB) for OZGRIP CST and OZGRIP HFST
