1.1This test method specifies a method for measuring force reduction, vertical deformation, and energy restitution of synthetic turf surfaces.
1.2This method is used to characterize properties of synthetic turf systems including the turf fabric, infill material, and shock pad (if applicable).
1.3It can be used for characterizing synthetic turf systems in laboratory environment or in the field.
1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
