Surfaces for Sports Areas - Synthetic Turf and Needle-Punched Surfaces Primarily Designed for Outdoor Use - Part 2: Specification for Needle-Punched Surfaces for Tennis and Multi-Sport Surfaces
Also Known As:
The performance and durability specifications for needle-punched sports surfaces that are primarily made for outdoor usage are outlined in the DIN EN 15330-2 standard. It covers two types of surfaces: those made primarily for tennis and those made for multi-sport use. The specifications in this standard are meant to apply to sports fields utilized for community, educational, and recreational purposes.
It is significant to highlight that sports governing bodies may have their own requirements for professional and elite levels of competition, which may differ from this European Standard. Therefore, it is important for facility planners to choose playing surfaces that can withstand the demands of the level of competition that will be played there.
The standard is based on laboratory testing of products undergoing type approval. However, specific conditions might also be applied on the spot to judge if the installed surfaces are appropriate. This standard offers helpful advice for the selection and evaluation of needle-punched surfaces for sporting venues, assisting in the development of secure and excellent sports facilities.
