(Main)Surfaces for sports areas - Procedure for accelerated ageing by exposure to hot air
Surfaces for sports areas - Procedure for accelerated ageing by exposure to hot air
This EN describes a procedure suitable for subjecting test pieces taken from all types of polymeric surfaces for sports areas to accelerated ageing by exposure to hot air in the laboratory. Test pieces are aged to permit a comparison of their physical characteristics before and after ageing, in accordance with EN test methods for surfaces for sports areas, to be made.
Sportböden - Verfahren der beschleunigten Alterung durch Beanspruchung mit heißer Luft
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt ein Laborverfahren, bei dem aus einem Sportboden entnommene Probekörper der beschleunigten Alterung durch Beanspruchung mit heißer Luft ausgesetzt werden. Die Probekörper werden in Übereinstimmung mit den in Europäischen Normen festgelegten Prüfverfahren für Sportböden gealtert, um einen Vergleich ihrer physikalischen Eigenschaften vor und nach der Alterung zu ermöglichen.
Dieses Verfahren ist für die Alterung aller Arten von Sportböden mit Ausnahme von Holzböden geeignet, das unter Verwendung von Probekörpern im Labor durchgeführt werden kann. Primär ist es jedoch zur Alterung polymerer Sportböden vorgesehen. Mit dem Verfahren kann die Wirkung von heißer Luft auf die physikalischen Eigenschaften der Sportböden ermittelt werden.
ANMERKUNG Prüfergebnisse von Sportböden, deren Eigenschaften sich durch Feuchtigkeit temporär verändern, sollten mit Vorsicht ausgewertet werden.
Sols sportifs - Méthode de vieillissement accéléré par exposition a l'air chaud
La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode qui vise à soumettre des éprouvettes prélevées dans des sols sportifs à des essais de vieillissement accéléré par exposition à de l'air chaud. Les éprouvettes sont soumises à un vieillissement pour permettre de comparer leurs caractéristiques physiques avant et après vieillissement, en conformité avec les méthodes d'essai des Normes européennes applicables aux sols sportifs.
La présente méthode convient aux essais de vieillissement de tous les types de sols sportifs, à l'exception des sols en bois, en utilisant des éprouvettes en laboratoire, mais elle est, avant tout, destinée à être utilisée pour le vieillissement des surfaces polymères. Elle permet de mesurer l'effet induit par une exposition à de l'air chaud sur les caractéristiques physiques du sol sportif.
NOTE Il convient d'interpréter avec prudence les résultats d'essai obtenus avec des matériaux qui présentent des variations temporaires de leurs propriétés en raison de l'humidité.

Overview
SIST EN 13817:2005 specifies a standardized laboratory procedure for the accelerated ageing of test pieces taken from sports area surfaces by exposure to hot air. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), the standard is harmonized with the European Standard EN 13817:2004 and focuses on the durability and performance assessment of polymeric sports surfaces. The procedure enables reliable comparison of physical properties before and after exposure to controlled hot air, supporting quality assurance and compliance with industry requirements in sports facility construction and maintenance.
Key Topics
- Accelerated Ageing: The standard details a method for simulating long-term ageing effects on materials using hot air in a laboratory setting. This controlled ageing process helps predict how surfaces will perform over time.
- Applicability: The procedure is suitable for polymeric and other non-wood surfaces used in sports areas, including synthetic turf, rubber tracks, and non-textile floorings.
- Test Piece Preparation: Specific guidance is provided for selecting, preparing, and conditioning test pieces, ensuring consistent and valid test results.
- Temperature and Duration Parameters: Samples are exposed to hot air at a specified temperature for a designated duration, replicating environmental stress factors that surfaces would encounter over years of use.
- Property Comparison: Testing before and after ageing enables meaningful evaluation of changes in key physical characteristics, such as impact absorption and surface integrity.
- Reporting Requirements: The standard mandates comprehensive documentation, detailing the methods used, the characteristics tested, and clear reporting of results.
Applications
Implementing SIST EN 13817:2005 provides significant benefits for stakeholders in the sports facilities industry:
- Product Development: Manufacturers of sports surfacing materials can use the accelerated ageing method to test new products, enabling data-driven improvements in material formulations and ensuring long-term durability.
- Compliance Testing: The standard supports regulatory compliance, aligning with European performance and safety requirements for sports surfaces.
- Quality Assurance: Architects, constructors, and facility owners can verify the performance and resilience of installed surfaces, ensuring that investments in infrastructure deliver sustained value.
- Procurement and Specification: The method offers a reliable basis for tender specifications, enabling objective comparison between different products and suppliers based on post-ageing performance metrics.
- Research and Innovation: Laboratories and research institutions can apply the standard to assess the impact of different ageing conditions and drive innovation in surface technology for sports applications.
