Surfaces for sports areas - Multi-sports floor systems for indoor use - Part 1: Essential characteristics
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14904-1 standard is a collection of requirements for multi-sport floor systems intended for use in gymnasiums and other indoor sports facilities. Additionally, it contains guidelines for single-sport facilities for handball, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and small-sided football. Physical education is regarded by the standard as a multisport activity.
The regulation EU N° 305/2011's definition of essential qualities is used in the standard. These qualities cover the test procedures, evaluation, confirmation of performance consistency, and marking for multi-sport floor systems. Both prefabricated systems and those assembled on-site using a kit and one or more components are covered by the standard. It does not, however, apply to indoor textile surfaces or synthetic turf.
This particular standard is the first of a two-part series. The additional requirements for multi-sport floor systems used in indoor sports facilities are outlined in Part 2.
