Synthetic Surfaces

Artificial surfaces are used for track and field events, multi-purpose sports facilities or as tennis fields. Depending on the application, they have to fulfil different requirements.

The manufacturer or the installation company must provide test reports to demonstrate the sports, safety and technical functions as well as the environmental compatibility of the synthetic surfaces. The suitability tests necessary for this are carried out on sample pieces in the laboratory using the latest versions of relevant standards and guidelines.
