NOTE These facilities normally enable sports such as handball, basketball, volleyball, small sided football to be played, and they can also be used for physical education and many other sporting activities. 4 Requirements for safety in use 4.1 General For athletics surfaces the requirements in 4.3 to 4.5 shall apply within the temperature range 10 °C to 40 °C. For type approval purposes, tests shall be carried out with the sample at (2010+) °C, (23 ± 2) °C and (02-40) °C.
For type approval purposes, tests on surfaces for multi-sports and tennis shall be carried out with the sample at (23 ± 2) °C.
Site tests on all synthetic surfaces shall be carried out with the surface temperature in the range 10 °C to 40 °C. 4.2 Friction When determined in accordance with EN 13036-4, dry and wet at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C, using the CEN rubber, the mean of the Pendulum Test Value shall be between 55 and 110 and no individual test result shall differ from the mean by more than four units. The verification test described in EN 13036-4 shall be carried out under dry conditions.
