BS EN 17409:2020 PDF Download

A standard known as BS EN 17409:2020 offers recommendations for the sampling of performance infills used in synthetic turf surfaces. The standard strives to guarantee adherence to performance, environmental, and toxicological norms and standards. It outlines four distinct sampling techniques that may be applied.

The process for taking samples while the infill material is being produced is described in detail in Method 1. This guarantees that the substance meets the necessary requirements prior to use on synthetic turf surfaces.

The second method focuses on collecting samples from large bags of delivered infill material. By doing this, it is ensured that the material utilized meets the requirements and quality standards established by the manufacturer.

The steps for taking samples from the little bags of provided infill material are described in Method 3. This is especially important when using smaller amounts of filler, like in landscaping work.

The steps for obtaining samples directly from a synthetic turf surface are described in Method 4. This makes it possible to evaluate the performance infill's quality and conformance following installation.

All kinds of infill materials used in synthetic turf surfaces can be sampled using the guidelines in the standard, ensuring that the surfaces are secure, ecologically friendly, and up to performance requirements.
