Standard EN SampleSurfaces for Sports Areas: Determination of Slip Resistance
Also Known As:
A standard called BS EN 14837:2006 describes how to evaluate how slippery sports surfaces are. It focuses on the interaction between the surface and the kind of sports shoe being worn, whether it has a smooth sole or is studded. This standard's goal is to guarantee that athletic surfaces have enough traction and grip to lower the possibility of slipping and falling while engaging in physical activity.
The standard offers instructions on how to take a precise and repeatable measurement of slide resistance. It provides information on the testing tools and techniques that must be used as well as the standards of performance that sports surfaces must meet. Manufacturers, installers, and facility managers can make sure that sports surfaces are secure and appropriate for the intended sporting activities by adhering to this standard.
