Introduction
This European Standard is the first revision of EN 14904 which was first published in 2006. This standard
specifies procedures for in situ testing for verification of some properties (defined in EN 14904-1 and
EN 14904-2) which need to be considered for a sports floor system that is to be used for one or more than
one sport.
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.
