Sports Mats: Determination of Shock Absorption
Also Known As:
The purpose of the BS EN 12503-4:2016 standard is to evaluate the shock absorption capabilities of sports mats. It offers a procedure for testing several sports mat types, specifically types 1 through 8 from EN 12503-1:2013, types 9 through 11 from EN 12503-2:2016, and type 12 from EN 12503-3:2001, to assess how well they absorb shock.
Manufacturers and users of sports mats can evaluate the effectiveness of these mats to absorb shock impacts by adhering to the requirements stated in this standard. This is a crucial quality since it immediately affects the security and convenience of athletes participating in sports involving mat contact.
It is possible to quantitatively assess the shock absorption capabilities of sports mats by carrying out experiments in accordance with this standard. In these tests, the mats are subjected to various shock impacts, and the resulting forces and deceleration values are measured.
