EN 14877 Synthetic Surfaces for Outdoor Sports Fields - Standard Test for Properties

This European Standard specifies requirements for synthetic (polymeric) surfaces (in situ installed and prefabricated) for outdoor sports facilities.

EN 14877 Synthetic Surfaces for Outdoor Sports Fields - Standard Test for Properties

Covers synthetic substrates for the following applications:

  • Athletics;
  • Tennis;
  • Multi sport.

The European Standard consists of two parts. The first describes requirements for laboratory testing of products to ensure that they can provide the required levels of sports performance and player/surface interaction required for their intended use and that they are manufactured from materials of acceptable quality. The second section describes the requirements for installed surfaces to ensure sports performance and player/surface interaction features are suitable for the intended use.

When independent third-party testing of synthetic sports surfaces is required to assess compliance with this standard, it is recommended that the laboratory be certified according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 for the relevant test methods specified in this standard.

Multisports will be defined by appropriate national provisions. The minimum requirements for the thickness of the synthetic sports surface are specified. this means that this European Standard cannot be applied to certain coatings used for sports surfaces.

This European Standard is not designed to cover the performance requirements of top athletics facilities.
