# Industrial Safety Technologies

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/industrial-safety-technologies/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Industrial Safety Technologies (IST) was a hardware-focused industrial safety platform, founded in 2011 and built by Battery Ventures through acquisitions of gas-detection and hazard-monitoring businesses including Gas Measurement Instruments (GMI), Detcon, DSA Detection, and Simtronics. Its products centered on fixed and portable gas detectors, flame detectors, and hazardous-environment safety instrumentation for industrial sites. IST was acquired by Scott Safety, a Tyco business, from Battery Ventures for $329.5 million in December 2014 and no longer exists as an independent company; the enrichment pipeline found no public API, developer portal, OpenAPI, or documentation surface to profile.
