The standard describes how to measure the sward height using particular tools and techniques. It outlines how to measure the height of the grass using a measuring tool, such as a sward stick or sward board. To ensure an accurate portrayal of the overall sward height, measurements are taken at several points on the playing field.

This standard aids in evaluating the caliber and consistency of natural turf sports fields by establishing the sward height. The measurement information gathered can be compared to established sward height criteria as well as used for management and maintenance tasks.
