Overview

EN 17467:2022 - Surfaces for sports areas: Test method for the determination of the residual deformation of synthetic or organic infill granules after static load - specifies a laboratory procedure to measure residual deformation and perform a visual inspection of synthetic or organic infill granules used in synthetic turf for sports surfaces. The standard defines sampling, conditioning, test equipment and the step-by-step method to assess how infill granules compress and recover after a defined static load.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Determines residual deformation (%) of infill granules and documents visual signs of conglutination or oil secretion after static loading.
• Test equipment:
  • Loading device per ISO 5893 (constant traverse rate 5 mm/min ±0.1 mm/min).
  • Circular pressure foot (28–32 mm diameter).
  • Two polished steel plates (150 × 60 × 12 mm) and one polished aluminium plate (110 × 65 × 0.5 mm).
  • Oven capable of 65 ±2 °C.
• Sample preparation & conditioning:
  • Laboratory specimens prepared per EN 932-2.
  • Particle size distribution determined per EN 933-1 (definitions of d and D).
  • Conditioning at 23 ±2 °C for ≥24 h; preconditioning at ≤40 °C if sample is wet.
• Test procedure highlights:
  • Initial thickness measurements before and after applying the aluminium plate.
  • Apply a static load of 4 800 N ±50 N (equivalent to 2 N/mm²) at 5 mm/min, clamp plates, oven-condition at 65 °C for 60 min, then allow 30 min settlement.
  • Repeat tests to ensure consistency; results must agree within 5 % absolute.
• Results & reporting:
  • Residual deformation calculated from measured thicknesses and expressed as a percentage.
  • Visual inspection reported using defined descriptors for conglutination (none, adherence, conglutination) and oil secretion (none, present).
  • Test report must reference EN 17467:2022 and include product ID, particle sizes, conditions, results and date.

Applications

• Quality control of synthetic turf infill materials (rubber, sand, organic granules).
• Product development and material selection for sports surfaces (football, hockey, multi-use pitches).
• Test laboratories performing performance certification and compliance testing.
• Specification and procurement by sports facility managers, contractors and certifying bodies concerned with surface durability, playability and safety.
• Forensic analysis of surface failures or complaints related to infill compaction or oil/leaching.

Related standards

• EN 932-2 - sample reduction for laboratory testing
• EN 933-1 - particle size distribution (sieving)
• ISO 5893 - specifications for tensile/flexural/compression test equipment

Using EN 17467:2022 helps stakeholders ensure consistent, reproducible measurement of infill resilience under static load and supports informed decisions about infill selection and surface maintenance.
