Sports mats - Part 2: Pole vault and high jump mats, safety requirements

This European Standard specifies safety requirements (including performance requirements) for 3 types of high jump and pole vault mats used in school, training and competition (see Clause 4).
This standard specifies performance and safety values for shock absorption of the mat and anti-slip characteristics of the base.
NOTE   For the specific requirements of international official competitions, see appropriate international regulations.

Sportmatten - Teil 2: Stabhochsprung- und Hochsprung-Matten, sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen (einschließlich der funktionalen An¬for-de¬rungen) an 3 Typen von Stabhochsprung- und Hochsprung-Matten für den Gebrauch in Schulen, beim Trai¬ning und bei Wett¬kämpfen fest (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Diese Norm legt die funktionalen und sicherheitstechnischen Werte für die Däm¬pfungs¬eigenschaften der Matte und die Rutschfestigkeitseigenschaften der Unterseite fest.
ANMERKUNG   Hinsichtlich der besonderen Anforderungen bei internationalen offiziellen Wettkämpfen, siehe die ent¬¬sprechenden internationalen Regeln.

Tapis de sport - Partie 2: Sautoirs pour saut à la perche et saut en hauteur, exigences de sécurité

La présente Norme européenne prescrit les exigences de sécurité (y compris des exigences de performance) de 3 types de sautoirs pour saut en hauteur et saut à la perche, utilisés dans les établissements scolaires, à l'entraînement et en compétition (voir Article 4).
Les valeurs qui reflètent les performances et la sécurité sont les caractéristiques d'amortissement au choc et les caractéristiques antidérapantes de la base du tapis.
NOTE   Eu égard aux exigences spécifiques des compétitions officielles internationales, voir les réglementations internationales appropriées.

Športne blazine - 2. del: Blazina za skok s palico in skok v višino, varnostne zahteve

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve (vključno z zahtevami glede zmogljivosti) za 3 vrste blazin za skok s palico in skok v višino, ki se uporabljajo v šolah, na treningih in tekmovanjih (glej točko 4).
Zahteve glede zmogljivosti in varnosti zajemajo absorpcijo udarcev in protizdrsne karakteristike podlage.

Overview

EN 12503-2:2016 - Sports mats: Part 2 - Pole vault and high jump mats, safety requirements (CEN) sets safety and performance requirements for three types of landing mats used in schools, training and competition. The standard focuses on the mat’s ability to absorb impact and on the anti-slip behaviour of the mat base. It references specific test methods for measuring shock absorption and base friction to ensure consistent, measurable safety performance.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and classification
  • Covers three mat design types: Type 9 (high jump - schools/training), Type 10 (high jump - competition) and Type 11 (pole vault).
  • Notes that international official competition requirements may be governed by separate international regulations.
• Shock absorption
  • Performance requirements for impact attenuation (shock absorption), percentage deflection and resilience are defined.
  • Test method: measured in accordance with EN 12503-4:2016 (Determination of shock absorption).
  • The standard includes specified and some recommended values for peak deceleration, deflection and resilience appropriate to each mat type.
• Base friction (anti-slip)
  • Specifies anti-slip (base friction) characteristics to reduce mat displacement during use.
  • Test method: measured in accordance with EN 12503-5:2001 (Determination of the base friction).
  • Some mat types require a minimum friction value unless mechanical fixing prevents movement.
• Marking and traceability
  • Mats must be legibly and indelibly marked with: the standard number EN 12503-2, the mat type number, manufacturer/retailer/importer name and year of manufacture, and indication of the top surface (if not obvious).

Applications and users

• Manufacturers and designers of athletic landing mats - to design products that meet European safety performance metrics.
• Purchasing/specification teams at schools, clubs, training centers and stadiums - to select appropriate mat types for intended use (school, training, competition).
• Sports facility managers and event organizers - to ensure installed mats meet anti-slip and shock-absorption safety expectations.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to perform EN 12503-4 and EN 12503-5 tests and document compliance.
• Standards and safety officers involved in athletics equipment procurement and certification.
