European foreword
This document (prEN 14904-1:2017) 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 14904-2 and prEN 14904-3, will supersede EN 14904:2006.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential characteristics of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
The following significant technical changes have been implemented in this new edition:
— splitting the former document in 3 parts;
— all necessary characteristics for the CPR (New terminology of the CPR);
— changes of the slip resistance (upper limit);
— EoC is changed in Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP;
— Annex B “Measuring points on sample”.
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

Introduction
This European Standard is the first revision of EN 14904 which was first published in 2006. This standard
provides performance criteria, as mandated by CEN, for the Essential Characteristics 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 Essential Characteristics should be measured.
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.
