What is BS EN 17409 about?
BS EN 17409 discusses surfaces for sports areas. BS EN 17409 focuses on synthetic turn infills. In addition to choosing the turf, another important decision is choosing the performance infill layer. This performance infill layer is usually formed with a sand stabilization layer in combination with a granulate that adds additional sport-technical properties to the system. Since a poor quality infill can cause problems in the field, quality checks need to be in place.
BS EN 17409 specifies the minimum procedures for the sampling of performance infills used within synthetic turf surfaces to verify compliance with toxicology, environmental and performance regulations, and standards. The procedures specified are suitable for all forms of infill.
