About us
The ‘Institut für Sportstättenprüfung’ (ISP) was founded by Dr. Uwe Schattke in 1999.
At the beginning, ISP was primarily concerned with the inspection and testing of completed sports hall floors. Today, ISP disposes of a well-equipped laboratory, where material testing of synthetic sports surfaces, artificial turf systems, impact absorbing wall coverings and sports hall floor systems is performed.
The scope of services of ISP also includes the qualification tests of all kind of synthetic sports floor systems for the indoor and outdoor application; furthermore, the inspections of installation works being directly performed on site, the testing of old sports hall floors, the quality monitoring as well as the surveying and evaluation of any prevailing claims and disputes.

The Institute is also recognized by the two national quality monitoring organizations RAL and DIN Certco.
The institute's director, Dr. Uwe Schattke, being a graduated engineer in the measurement technology, received his doctor’s degree on the subject of measuring forces in the biomechanics of sport performance and had been the manager of a biomechanics laboratory for several years.
