Sports mats - Part 4: Determination of shock absorption
Also Known As:
The European Standard DIN EN 12503-4 describes a test procedure for measuring the shock absorption properties of various sports mat types. It is applicable specifically to sports mats that meet the criteria for EN 12503-1:2013 types 1 through 8, EN 12503-2:2001 types 9 through 11, and EN 12503-3:2001 type 12.
This standard aims to establish a uniform technique for judging how well sports mats can absorb shocks. This is crucial for making sure athletes are safe and comfortable while participating in sports. This standard aids in assessing the shock absorption qualities of sports mats in order to determine their suitability for various activities, taking into account elements like impact force and energy absorption.
This standard is one of several that concentrate on the performance qualities of sports mats. Its purpose is to offer an impartial and consistent method of testing and assessing the shock-absorbing capabilities of sports mats. This gives consumers, testing facilities, and producers a uniform concept and point of reference when evaluating the shock absorption qualities of various sports mat types.
