About — IS 2490:1974

IS 2490:1974 is an Indian Standard that prescribes a laboratory method for measuring the coefficient of friction of a surface. It is widely referenced in building‑code specifications to ensure floor slip resistance and to harmonise testing across manufacturers. The procedure involves pulling a weighted sled across the test material and recording the required force.
