European foreword
This document (prEN 14904-2:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 217 “Surfaces
for sports areas”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document, together with prEN 14904-1 and prEN 14904-3, will supersede EN 14904:2006.
The following significant technical changes have been implemented in this new edition:
— Splitting the former document in 3 parts, this part being related to etc.
— Annex D “Measuring points on sample”
— Annex F “Described system of AVCP related to CE marking”
EN 14904 consists of the following parts, under the general title Multi-sports floor systems for indoor use:
— Part 1: Essential characteristics
— Part 2: Specifications
— Part 3: In situ testing
prEN 14904-2:2017 (E)
Introduction
This European Standard is the first revision of EN 14904 which was first published in 2006. This part 2
or the revised standard provides performance criteria, which need to be considered for a sports floor
system that is to be used for one or more than one sport and appropriate test methods by which these
Characteristics should be measured.
The part 1 of this European Standard details performance criteria for essential characteristics, as
mandated by CEN for essential characteristics of multi-sports floors.
When setting the various performance criteria detailed within the standard, the needs of Volleyball,
Basketball, Badminton, Small sided Football, Handball and Physical Education were prioritized. Whilst
the performance criteria are applicable when one or more sports are played on a sports floor system, it
was also felt that if a facility was to be used for just one of the five aforementioned sports then this
standard would also be applicable. However, this standard may not be appropriate for single sport
centres designed for specialist sports such as Tennis or Cricket as some of the performance criteria (such
as shock absorption and angle ball rebound) are not appropriate nor are some of the test methods.
When independent third party testing of indoor multisport- surfaces is required to assess compliance it
is recommended that the laboratory complies with EN ISO/IEC 17025 for the tests specified in the
standard. It should also be noted that the performance criteria and test methods within this standard are
not appropriate for Synthetic Turf or Textile surfaces when used indoors as these types of products would
not usually be considered as suitable for a multi-sport facility nor for the playing of the specified sports
listed above. Appropriate standards for these types of products are currently being developed.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements not covered by part 1 of this standard for multi-sports
floor systems designed for use in indoor sport halls and gymnasia.
This European Standard also applies to sing le sport facilities designed for the following sports: volleyball,
basketball, badminton, small sided football, and handball.
NOTE 1 Physical education is considered as a multisport use.
NOTE 2 Part 1 covers essential requirements (as defined in regulation EU N° 305/2011) for multi-sports floor
systems designed for use in indoor sport halls and gymnasia.”
This European Standard does not apply to synthetic turf or textile surfaces used indoors.
