EVS-EN 1517:2000

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of resistance to impact of the surface layer of artificial sports areas, other than synthetic turf. NOTE: Artificial sports surfaces are considered those formed by a layer or layers of processed and formed material laid so as to produce an essentially continuous and bound-together surface. The surface may also include loose particulate material essentially retained by the
formed material. It is not possible to make an absolute distinction between what is a natural and what is an artificial surface.
