BS EN 13864:2004

This standard BS EN 13864:2004 Surfaces for sports areas. Determination of tensile strength of synthetic yarns is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.220.10 Sports facilities
• 97.150 Non-textile floor coverings

This European Standard describes two methods for the determination of the tensile properties of pile yarns in the construction of synthetic turf. Method A is used for determining the tensile properties of synthetic yarns taken from packages prior to the manufacture of synthetic turf. Method B is used for determining the tensile properties of pile yarns from the manufactured synthetic turf. The results from the two methods are not comparable and method B is less accurate.
