Scope

This European Standard specifies three methods for the determination of water infiltration rate. Method A is suitable for synthetic, textile, synthetic turf and bound mineral sports surfaces, Method B is suitable for natural turf and Method C is suitable for unbound mineral sports surfaces. NOTE For unbound mineral surfaces, laboratory tests are considered to give a more precise indication of how a surface will perform.
