The BS 7044-2.3:1990 standard describes a number of techniques for determining how durable artificial sports surfaces are.

The standard addresses a number of significant aspects of durability testing, including resistance to abrasion from metal blades and abrasive wheels. This testing procedure aids in determining how well the surface can survive abrasion brought on by frequent use or friction.

Another important criterion covered by the standard is fatigue resistance. This determines if the surface can sustain numerous cycles of loading and unloading without deterioration or structural damage.

The standard also focuses on assessing the artificial sports surfaces' low-temperature impact resistance. This is significant because surfaces used in cold or outdoor environments need to be able to tolerate forces brought on by temperature without breaking or cracking.

The standard also specifies a technique for assessing spike resistance, which evaluates a surface's capacity to withstand the impact of pointed items like spikes or shoe studs. The surface's capacity to withstand significant point loads or pressure is assessed in relation to its resistance to indentation, which is the last topic.
