Surfaces for sports areas - Synthetic turf and needle-punched surfaces primarily designed for outdoor use - Part 1: Specification for synthetic turf
This European Standard specifies performance and durability characteristics for synthetic turf sports surfaces used primarily outdoors. Five categories of surface are covered, each based on the principal sporting use of the surface, as follows:
surfaces designed primarily for hockey;
surfaces designed primarily for association football;
surfaces designed primarily for rugby union for training purposes;
NOTE Under the Laws of the Game of Rugby Union, surfaces for rugby union matches have to comply with IRB Regulation 22.
surfaces designed primarily for tennis; and
surfaces designed for multi-sports use.
The requirements are intended to apply to surfaces used for community, educational and recreational sport. For professional and elite levels of competition, many sports governing bodies have published their own specifications; the requirements of the sports governing bodies might differ from those detailed in this European Standard and facility developers are advised to ensure that they select surfaces offering the correct level of performance for the level of competition played on the pitch or court.
This European Standard is based on type approval testing of products in the laboratory. Selected requirements may also be used on site to assess the suitability of installed surfaces. Guidance on the testing of installations is given in Annex A.
Some of the surfaces covered by this European Standard are designed to allow users to wear footwear fitted with studs. An example of a typical stud is given in EN 15306. For the purposes of this European Standard, multi-dimpled shoe profiles often found on footwear used on sand-filled or non-filled synthetic turfs are not considered to be studs.
Sportböden - Überwiegend für den Außenbereich hergestellte Kunststoffrasenflächen und Nadelfilze - Teil 1: Festlegungen für Kunststoffrasen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Leistungs und Dauerhaftigkeitseigenschaften von Kunststoffrasenflächen für den Sport fest, die üblicherweise im Außenbereich zur Verwendung gelangen. Es werden fünf Kategorien von Kunststoffrasenbelägen behandelt, die jeweils auf der überwiegenden sportlichen Nutzung der Beläge basieren, und zwar:
Kunststoffrasenbeläge, die vorwiegend für das Hockey konzipiert sind;
Kunststoffrasenbeläge, die vorwiegend für den Vereinsfußball konzipiert sind;
Kunststoffrasenbeläge, die vorwiegend für das Rugby Union und für Trainingszwecke konzipiert sind;
ANMERKUNG Gemäß den Bestimmungen für die Sportart „Rugby Union“ müssen Sportböden für „Rugby Union“¬Spiele der Bestimmung Nr 22 der Internationalen Rugbyvereinigung IRB genügen.
Kunststoffrasenbeläge, die vorwiegend für das Tennis konzipiert sind und
Kunststoffrasenbeläge, die für mehrere Sportarten konzipiert sind.
Die Anforderungen gelten für Beläge, die für den Breitensport und Schulsport vorgesehen sind. Für den Leistungssport haben viele Sportföderationen eigene Anforderungen veröffentlicht, die von den in dieser Europäischen Norm angegebenen abweichen können. Die Bauherren von Sportanlagen sollten sicherstellen, dass der gewählte Sportboden das richtige Leistungsniveau für die Wettkämpfe, die auf dem jeweiligen Sportplatz ausgetragen werden, sicherstellt.
Diese Europäische Norm basiert auf der Typprüfung von Produkten im Labor. Bestimmte Anforderungen können auch in situ geprüft werden, um die Eignung von eingebauten Sportböden zu beurteilen. Hinweise für die Prüfung von eingebauten Sportböden sind in Anhang A angegeben.
Einige der von dieser Europäischen Norm abgedeckten Sportböden sind so konzipiert, dass sie von Anwendern, die Sportschuhe mit Stollen tragen, verwendet werden können. Ein Beispiel für einen typischen Stollen ist in EN 15306 angegeben.
Sols sportifs - Surfaces en gazon synthétique et surfaces en textile aiguilleté principalement destinées à l'usage en extérieur - Partie 1 : Spécifications pour le gazon synthétique
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques de performance et de durabilité des sols sportifs en gazon synthétique principalement utilisés en extérieur. Cinq catégories de surfaces sont concernées, en fonction de l’usage sportif principal de la surface :
surfaces principalement destinées au hockey ;
surfaces principalement destinées au football ;
surfaces principalement destinées au rugby pour l’entraînement ;
NOTE Selon la législation de la Fédération internationale de rugby, les surfaces pour les matchs de rugby à 15 joueurs doivent respecter la réglementation IRB 22.
surfaces principalement destinées au tennis ; et
surfaces multi-sports.
Les exigences de la présente norme s’appliquent aux surfaces utilisées pour les sports collectifs, l'éducation physique ou les sports de loisirs. Au niveau du sport professionnel et de la compétition, plusieurs organismes sportifs ont publié leur propres spécifications ; leurs exigences peuvent être différentes de celles énoncées dans la présente Norme européenne, et il est conseillé aux concepteurs d’installations de s’assurer qu’ils choisissent des surfaces offrant les niveaux de performance correspondant aux niveaux de compétition prévus sur le terrain ou sur le court.
La présente Norme européenne est fondée sur des essais d’homologation de type de produits en laboratoire. Des exigences particulières peuvent également s'appliquer sur site, afin d’évaluer l’aptitude à l’emploi des surfaces installées. Des conseils concernant les essais d’installation sont donnés à l’Annexe A.
Certaines des surfaces couvertes par cette Norme européenne sont conçues pour permettre aux utilisateurs de porter des chaussures adaptées avec des crampons. Un exemple de crampon typique est présenté dans l’EN 15306.
