EN 12235 Surfaces for Sports Fields - Test for Determination of Vertical Ball Behavior

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12235 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining the rebound height of a ball from a surface when released vertically.

In order to have a safe sport activity, there must be sufficient grip between the shoes the athlete is wearing and the surface of the sports field. If the grip is low, the athlete may show a slip and fall. If the clutch is too much, an undesirable tension occurs on the joint and muscle ligaments of the athlete.

Similarly, tests and examinations of the surface of sports fields should be carried out in many aspects such as vertical ball behavior, rolling load resistance, abrasion resistance, fire reaction, formaldehyde emission, mirror reflection, reflective brightness, indentation strength, impact resistance and degree of smoothness. Different standards are set for each of these features.

It may be right to do outdoor sports but unfortunately it is not easy to find this opportunity in today's conditions and working tempo. For this reason, indoor sports areas are preferred. However, in order to prevent an injury or disability during sports, necessary tests and examinations of the sports fields should also be performed.
