ASTM F2772-11
(Specification)Standard Specification for Athletic Performance Properties of Indoor Sports Floor Systems
Standard Specification for Athletic Performance Properties of Indoor Sports Floor Systems
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes levels for athletic performance properties of multi-purpose indoor sports floor systems, excluding turf and materials specific to running tracks and tennis courts.
1.2 The methods described are applicable in both the laboratory and field unless otherwise stated.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
