This document specifies three methods for the determination of the tensile properties of materials used as surfaces, elastic layers and shockpads for sports areas.
Method 1 measures the tensile strength of homogenous test specimens that are less than 25 mm in thickness.
Method 2 measures the transversal tensile strength of homogenous test specimens that are more than 25 mm in thickness.
Method 3 measures the tensile strength of sports surfaces or shockpads that are non-homogenous and contain slots or grooves cut into their structure.
This document is applicable both to prefabricated sheet materials and to materials formed by casting of liquid systems cured in- situ.
NOTE   If the nature of the sports surface is such that a properly representative test piece cannot be prepared in the manner described in this document, then determination of tensile properties should not be attempted for quality control purposes, or as a predictor of performance in use. With such materials, it can be more appropriate to determine their compressive properties or other dynamic characteristics for these purposes.

This European Standard specifies minimum performance and durability requirements for shockpads and elastic layers used within synthetic turf, needle-punch and textile sports surfaces. It applies to any shockpad used as an elastic component in sports surfacing system.  
The Standard describes how the performance of a shockpad or elastic layer shall be measured, and the results classified in a common format to enable developers of sports surfacing systems that wish to use shockpads or elastic layers to select the most appropriate shockpad or elastic layer for their intended sports surface.  
It also details the maximum changes in performance a shockpad or elastic layer should experience when subjected to artificial ageing if it is to offer satisfactory long-term performance when installed within a sports surfacing system.  The Standard also specifies appropriate performance tolerance for production and on-site quality control procedures.
Note1: The sports performance characteristics of a synthetic turf, needle-punch or textile sports surface are provided by the combined characteristics of the playing surface, any infill within the playing surface pile and any shockpad. The selection of the correct permutations of each is complex and the responsibility of the sports surface designer. It is important to take these facts into account when considering the performance of a shockpad; a shockpad alone should not be expected to satisfy the performance requirements of the complete playing surface as specified in EN 15330-1 and EN 15330-2.
Note 2: This Standard only refers to the shockpad or elastic layer. It makes no recommendations on sub-base constructions or the different synthetic turf for needle-punch textile sports surface designs.  
Note 3: Some types of shockpad are also intended to provide structural properties to the base of a sports facility.  These aspects of a shockpad’s performance are not considered by this European Standard.  Where appropriate compliance with national standards and guidelines for these aspects should be followed.

This document specifies the design and use requirements, the test methods and the scales of classification of the environmental performance when using a domestic swimming pool.
This document is applicable to outdoor pools, as defined in EN 16582 (all parts), intended to be permanently installed, and shall be red jointly with the latter.
This document allows the evaluation of the environmental performance efficiency of the use of domestic swimming pools.
NOTE   This document only covers the operational phase of the basin. All the other stages of the product life cycle, such as the extraction of resources, the acquisition of raw materials, production, distribution, use and end-of-life processing, including final disposal, are not covered by this document.
This document does not apply to:
- the specific functions of buildings housing domestic indoor swimming pools, such as air treatment or the lighting or insulation of the buildings, etc.;
- domestic spas covered by EN 17125, or their specific equipment;
- spas for public use, or their specific equipment;
- mini-pools covered by EN 16927, or their specific equipment;
- paddling pools covered by EN 71 1 and EN 71 8, or their specific equipment;
- non-permanently installed pools covered by EN 16582 (all parts);
NOTE   This document does not cover non-permanently installed pools, because the absolute majority of this kind of pools are not equipped with any kind of heating, operated and used only in comparable short periods (range of 3-4 months), and the power consumption of pumps used are usually low (range of less than 1 kWh per day).
Nevertheless, to ensure a future objective comparison also with this kind of pools and other permanently installed pools, a calculation method for non-permanently installed pools will be established and considered in the next revision.
- swimming pools for public use covered by EN 15288-1, or their specific equipment.
This document also does not apply to:
- personal hygiene devices, such as showers or footbaths, or their specific equipment;
- devices for water features, such as water play equipment or fountains, or their corresponding specific equipment (dedicated pumps, etc.).

This document specifies the design and use requirements, the test methods and the scales of classification of the environmental performance when using a domestic swimming pool.
This document is applicable to outdoor pools, as defined in EN 16582 (all parts), intended to be permanently installed, and shall be read jointly with the latter.
This document allows the evaluation of the environmental performance efficiency of the use of domestic swimming pools.
NOTE 1   This document only covers the operational phase of the basin. All the other stages of the product life cycle, such as the extraction of resources, the acquisition of raw materials, production, distribution, use and end-of- life processing, including final disposal, are not covered by this document.
This document does not apply to:
—   domestic indoor swimming pools and their specific functions of buildings housing such as air treatment or the lighting or insulation of the buildings, etc.;
—   domestic spas covered by EN 17125, or their specific equipment;
—   swimming pools for public use covered by EN 15288-1, or their specific equipment;
—   spas for public use, or their specific equipment;
—   mini-pools covered by EN 16927, or their specific equipment;
—   paddling pools covered by EN 71-1 and EN 71-8, or their specific equipment;
—   non-permanently installed pools covered by EN 16582 (all parts).
NOTE 2   This document does not cover non-permanently installed pools, due to the fact that absolute majority of these types of pools are not equipped with heating, and are operated and used only for relatively short time periods (range of 3-4 months). Moreover, the power consumption of pumps used are usually low (range of less than 1 kWh per day).
Nevertheless, to ensure a future objective comparison also with these types of pools and other permanently installed pools, a calculation method for non-permanently installed pools will be established and considered in the next revision of this document.
This document also does not apply to the following equipment:
—   personal hygiene devices, such as showers or footbaths, or their specific equipment;
—   devices for water features, such as water play equipment or fountains, or their corresponding specific equipment (dedicated pumps, etc.).

This document specifies test methods for measuring the impact attenuation of sports surfaces. Three different methods are specified. In Procedure A, a series of tests are undertaken from differing drop heights and the HIC values are plotted, and the Critical Fall Height determined. In Procedure B, a single test is undertaken from differing drop heights and the HIC values are plotted, and the Critical Fall Height determined. In Procedure C a series of tests are made at a fixed drop height and the maximum value of HIC is calculated.
This test method is primarily intended for use on both natural and synthetic turf sport surfaces. It may be carried out in a laboratory on test specimens or in situ on installed sports surfaces. This test method may not be suitable for sports surfaces covered by EN 14904.
