What is this BS EN 15306 - Exposure of synthetic turf to simulated wear about?
BS EN 15306 discusses surfaces for outdoor sports areas with a focus on the exposure of synthetic turf to simulated wear. BS EN 15306 specifies a method for conditioning synthetic turf and needle-punch surfaces by simulating the interaction between a sports shoe and sports surface, to allow changes in appearance and to allow sports functional characteristics to be measured.
Note: The method specified is commonly known as the Lisport method.
Who is BS EN 15306 - Exposure of synthetic turf to simulated wear for?
BS EN 15306 on exposure of synthetic turf to simulated wear is useful for:
- Sports federations
- Test laboratories
- Sports facilities
- Stadiums
- Synthetic turf manufacturers
- Sporting commission officials
Why should you use BS EN 15306 - Exposure of synthetic turf to simulated wear?
Two cylinders equipped with studs move linearly along the surface of the test piece. The two cylinders roll on the surface and a mechanical system between the cylinders causes a sliding movement of one of the cylinders. Depending on the configuration of the machine, the support might have a movement transverse to the linear movement of the cylinders.
BS EN 15306 discusses wear simulator, stud inspection, and replacement, test pieces, procedure, evaluation, and expression of results, change of appearance, the test of sports functional characteristics, and test report. Using BS EN 15306 guidelines will allow sports functional characteristics to be measured.
