This European Standard was approved by CEN on 4 December 1999.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

1 Scope

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.

2 Apparatus 2.1 Method A

2.1.1 Plane reference plate

2.1.2 Thickness gauge, with a 0,01 mm accuracy dial, a plunger with a flat

measuring surface of 4 mm ± 0,1 mm diameter and a measurement force between 0,8 N and 1,0 N.

2.2 Method B

2.2.1 Thickness measuring probe, comprising three flat-ended, steel probes, circular in section, approximately 2 mm in diameter, set in a triangular pattern between 15 mm and 20 mm apart, which can be driven into a surface under test in such a manner that the minimum depth of penetration from the upper surface of the material under test can be measured by means of a sliding, calibrated barrel, having a flat circular base of 25 mm to 30 mm in diameter (see figure 1).
