DIN EN 13865 PDF Download

The European standard DIN EN 13865 outlines a technique for assessing how a tennis ball will behave when it collides with a sports surface at an angle. The standard's objective is to offer recommendations for evaluating tennis court surfaces in terms of their capacity to produce predictable and consistent ball behavior.

The standard focuses on calculating the ball's rebound angle after impact with the surface. This is achieved by striking the ball with control and precision at predetermined angles using a specialized device. The rebound angle is then calculated and used as a gauge for how well the surface will play for tennis.

This standard offers helpful information for tennis court designers, producers, and maintenance specialists by establishing angled ball behavior. It aids in ensuring that tennis courts adhere to the necessary criteria for fairness, playability, and safety. Additionally, the standard promotes the creation and application of sports surfaces that provide reliable and consistent playing characteristics, enhancing player enjoyment and enabling peak performance.
