What is BS EN 17326 about?
BS EN 17326 discusses surfaces for sports areas. BS EN 17326 specifies a method for determining the dimensional stability (bowing and curling) of shock pads used within sports surface systems.
Who is BS EN 17326 for?
BS EN 17326 on surfaces for sports areas is useful for:
- Sports federations
- Test laboratories
- Sports facilities
- Stadiums
- Government authorities
- Sporting commission officials
Why should you use BS EN 17326?
The state of the shock pads can impact the outcome of a sporting activity. Bowing and curling can distort the results in terms of player performance. Ensuring that these shock pads are in top condition is important for reflecting the accurate outcome.
The shock pad is subjected to repeated impacts and any changes in the performance of the structure of the shock pad is measured. BS EN 17326 provides a method for determining the dimensional stability of shock pads used within sports surface systems to ensure safety measures.
