Sports Mats - Part 1: Gymnastic Mats, Safety Requirements
Also Known As:
The safety requirements and performance criteria for various kinds of gymnastic mats are described in the DIN EN 12503-1 standard. This standard is applicable to mats used in academic, athletic, and training environments.
For eight various types of matting, the standard clearly sets safety and performance values. These parameters include things like shock absorption, base anti-slip properties, and surface friction properties. The goal of this standard is to guarantee that gymnastic mats offer a secure environment for anyone participating in gymnastics exercises.
Manufacturers can use the standard's defined performance and safety requirements as recommendations to make sure the mats they make adhere to certain quality requirements. These requirements aid in shielding users from mishaps and possible injury when engaging in gymnastic exercises.
