Title
Surfaces for sports areas. Determination of thinkness of synthetic sports surfaces

Abstract
This European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the thickness of synthetic surfaces for sports areas, suitable for use in the laboratory and in-situ.

Method A, a destructive test method, is intended for use:

• where the thickness needs to be measured to an accuracy of ±0,1 mm;
• when the thickness of different layers is to be determined.

Method B, a non-destructive test method, is intended for use as a routine check on thickness, e.g. for control purposes or when surveying a large area of synthetic surfacing. It gives measurements to an accuracy between ±0,5 mm and ±1,5 mm, depending upon the texture.
