Surfaces for sports areas - Code of practice for the sampling of performance infills used within synthetic turf surfaces
This document specifies the minimum procedures for the sampling of performance infills used within synthetic turf surfaces to verify compliance with toxicology, environmental and performance regulations and standards.
Four sampling procedures are specified:
Method 1 specifies how to take samples during production of the infill material.
Method 2 specifies how to take samples from big bags delivered to site.
Method 3 specifies how to take samples from small bags delivered to site.
Method 4 specifies a procedure for taking samples from a synthetic turf (e.g. sports, recreational or landscaping surface).
The procedures specified are suitable for all forms of infill.

3.1
big bag
flexible container capable of holding ≥ 1 m (1 000 l) or more of infill
3.2
field sample
sample taken in the field and from which laboratory samples are produced
3.3
increment
sub-portion of material extracted in a single operation by the sampling device
3.4
infill
particulate materials used to infill the synthetic turf pile to provide support of the carpet pile and to aid
the provision of the required performance characteristics of the surface
3.5
laboratory sample
sample or sub-sample sent to or received by the laboratory
3.6
lot
defined quantity of infill material for which a characteristic is to be determined
3.7
sample
mix of all the increments taken from a lot
3.8
sampling tool
tool used to remove a quantity of material, greater than or equal to 0,000 3 m (0,3 l), from different
heights within a big bag
3.9
small-bag
flexible container capable typically holding 0,05 m (50 l) of infill
3.10
test portion
quantity or volume of infill removed from the test sample for analysis purposes
3.11
test sample
prepared from the laboratory sample, from which the test portions are removed for testing or for analysis
4 General
The method of sampling employed shall be designed and controlled to ensure that contamination of the
increment, lot, sample, test portion or test sample cannot occur.
When laboratory samples are being taken for chemical analysis increments and samples shall be stored
in containers that are known to not influence the results of the analysis.
NOTE Metal or glass containers are considered to satisfy this requirement.
All equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned before use.
5 Method 1 — sampling during production
5.1 Sampling plan
The main principle of sampling is to obtain a representative sample(s) from a lot of material from which
a characteristic is to be determined. If the lot is to be represented by a sample, then every particle in the
lot shall have an equal probability of being included in the sample.
When these principles cannot be applied in practice, the sampler shall define a judgemental sampling
procedure that is designed to ensure the sampling matches as far as possible the outcomes of probability
sampling and note any limitations of the procedure used in the sampling plan and sampling report.
Obtaining samples that are truly representative of the material produced is easier when the material is
falling or moving (for example on a conveyor belt). Therefore, sampling from falling or moving material
shall be undertaken wherever possible.
A sampling plan shall be prepared before samples are taken. This shall include a specific definition of the
lot size and the size and number of increments to be taken.
5.2 Lot size
The minimum lot size shall be 10 t and the maximum lot size shall not exceed 120 t of product.
NOTE 1 A lot size of 120 t is based on the typical quantity of infill used on a 60 mm full size synthetic turf football
field.
