Overview
EN 14810:2006 - Surfaces for sports areas: Determination of spike resistance (CEN) - defines a laboratory method to assess how synthetic sports surfaces withstand repeated contact from athletic spikes. The standard measures the effect of spike wear on the surface by comparing tensile strength and elongation at break before and after a controlled spiking procedure. Results are reported as percentage changes that quantify spike resistance and visual damage.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Laboratory method for resistance of synthetic sports surfaces to spikes.
- Test specimens: Four samples, each 180 mm × 220 mm (one initial, two for wear, one reference).
- Conditioning: Test environment at (23 ± 2) °C and relative humidity (50 ± 10) %.
- Apparatus:
- Spike apparatus with a rotating vertical shaft and adjustable motor.
- Metal roller fitted with 12 freely rotating wheels (10 wheels fitted with six spikes each). Wheel dimensions and spike geometry are specified (e.g., spike length 9 ± 1 mm). Total roller mass adjusted to (10 ± 0.1) kg.
- Procedure:
- Tensile tests performed in accordance with EN 12230 on five tensile pieces from each specimen.
- Motor speed at (20 ± 2) rev/min; each worn specimen subjected to (1 200 ± 20) revolutions.
- Visual inspection and mandrel bending (mandrel diameter 70 ± 5 mm) to note cracks, material removal or surface wear.
- Expression of results:
- Resistance reported as percentage changes in tensile strength (X) and elongation at break (Y) comparing initial (T1, E1) and post-wear (T2, E2) values.
- Test report: Must reference EN 14810:2006 and include surface description, visual damage, X and Y results, and any deviations.
Applications and users
- Who uses EN 14810:2006:
- Surface manufacturers and R&D teams validating product durability.
- Independent test laboratories performing compliance and quality assurance testing.
- Specifiers, consultants and facility managers assessing suitability of synthetic surfaces for athletics, multi-sport courts and training areas.
- Certification bodies and procurement teams requiring documented spike resistance data.
- Practical value:
- Quantifies how spike usage affects mechanical properties of sports surfaces.
- Helps compare formulations, surface constructions and protective coatings.
- Supports maintenance decision-making and product specification for performance and longevity.
