EN 15330-2 Surfaces for Sports Fields - Synthetic Grass and Needle-Punched Surfaces Mainly Designed for Outdoor Use - Part 2: Characteristics of Needle-Punched Surfaces for Tennis and Multi-Sports Surfaces

The EN 15330-2 standard, which is a European standard, primarily describes the performance and durability characteristics of needle-punched sports surfaces used outdoors. This standard covers two surface categories, depending on the basic sporting use of the surface, as follows:

• Surfaces designed for multi-sport use
• Surfaces designed primarily for tennis

The requirements are intended to apply to surfaces used for community, educational and recreational sport. Meanwhile, many sports governing bodies have published their own specifications for professional and elite level competitions. In this case, these sports governing bodies requirements may differ from those detailed in the EN 15330-2 standard. It is therefore recommended that facility managers select surfaces that offer the right performance levels for the levels of competition to be played on the field or court. The said standard is based on the type approval tests to be carried out in the laboratory of the products. Selected requirements are also used in the field to evaluate the suitability of installed surfaces.

For the purposes of this standard,

• Unfilled needle-punched surface expression, Refers to a needle-punched or fiber-bonded surface that does not contain any unbound particle fillers in the pile.
• The term filled needle punched surface refers to a needle punched or fiber bonded surface whose pile is either completely or partially filled with an unbonded particulate material (typically sand).
• The term multisport surface refers to a needle punched or fiber bonded surface designed to be used for multiple sports.

Essentially, the EN 15330 standard consists of two parts:

• EN 15330-1 Part 1: Specification of synthetic turf surfaces for football, hockey, rugby training, tennis and multi-sport use
• Part 2: Features of needle-punched surfaces for tennis and multi-sport surfaces

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization provides test services to determine the properties of needle-punched surfaces for tennis and multi-sport surfaces, within the scope of EN 15330-2 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment. also gives.
