Testing capabilities

Listed sports-surface impact and physical methods

Laboratory/shared rows cover ball rebound, critical-fall-height/HIC, restitution, pile/infill properties, listed rotational resistance, shock absorption and vertical deformation. Thickness and FIFA 24 infiltration are Laboratory methods; separate field-only rows are not moved to Sunbury.

Turf-material and slip-resistance methods

Laboratory rows list turf joint/tensile/tuft-withdrawal strength, pile/mass/colour and infill properties, yarn thermogravimetric/DSC/decitex methods. Specified paved/pedestrian slip-resistance methods are allocated to Laboratory and Site.

Standards and accreditation

UKAS 7933 — method/code-specific surfaces scope
Issue 020 dated 14 July 2026 states ISO/IEC 17025:2017 with named BS EN, FIFA, World Rugby and slip-guideline references. FIFA 6a rotational resistance and football-goal tests are Site-only; method editions and environmental conditions remain separate.

What to confirm with the facility

  • Method codes are not interchangeable: ball roll, goals, planarity/regularity, FIFA 6a and EN 12616 Method A are Site-only. Laboratory conditioning does not establish a general climatic/weathering suite; yarn thermal analysis is a material property method.
  • Confirm exact surface/product, method and code, specimen/installed-site conditions, standard edition, accredited reporting, availability and quotation.

  1. UKAS 7933 Surface Performance, issue 020

    United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) · Reviewed

    Issue 020 dated 14 July 2026 distinguishes Laboratory/Site sports/paved-surface methods and controlled lab versus ambient Site conditions. Ball-roll, FIFA 6a rotation, goals, planarity/regularity and EN 12616 Method A are Site-only; local thermal/material and other listed methods retain exact codes.
