This European Standard was approved by CEN on 28 November 2005.
CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national
standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation
under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official
versions.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the vertical deformation of sports surfaces.
NOTE The method specified is commonly known as the Artificial Athlete (Stuttgart) method.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.
EN 12229, Surfaces for sports areas — Procedure for the preparation of synthetic turf and textile test pieces
ISO 6487, Road Vehicles — Measurement techniques in impact tests — Instrumentation
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
area-elastic sports surface
sports surface, to which the application of a point force causes deflection over a relatively large area around the
point of application of the force
3.2
point-elastic sports surface
sports surface, to which the application of a point force causes deflection only at or close to the point of application
of the force
3.3
combination-elastic sports surface
area-elastic sports surface with a point-elastic top layer, to which the application of a point force causes both
localized deflection and deflection over a wider area
3.4
mixed-elastic sports surface
point-elastic sports surface with an area-stiffening component
NOTE A mixed-elastic sports surface has deflection characteristics between those of an area-elastic surface and a point-
elastic surface.
3.5
vertical deformation
deformation of the surface to an applied normalized load
4 Principle
A weight is allowed to fall onto a spring placed on the test piece; the maximum deformation applied is recorded.
