Abrasion / Friction Testing
From indoor halls to outdoor fields, consistency of interaction with a surface is critical for player safety. Sufficient grip is necessary, but too much risks injury. At Sports Labs, we carry out all the necessary tests to protect players.

Artificial Turf
Artificial turf testing is regulated by governing body specifications, and it is typically more regulated than other sport surfaces. We staff world-leading teams in key regions and support them with the best tools, training, skills, and knowledge. We are ready to test, certify, and provide guidance whenever and wherever you need us.

Pistes d'athlétisme
Une piste d'athlétisme est construite avec un mélange scientifique de composants qui en font une surface hautement durable et réactive pour les athlètes. Bien que ces produits puissent être complexes, nous comprenons les variables clés.

Certification par Sport
Les exigences fonctionnelles sportives en matière de sécurité et de performance sont classées par les organes directeurs mondiaux et nationaux des surfaces sportives. Certains sont mis à jour plus régulièrement tandis que d'autres sont conçus pour permettre une utilisation multiple. Pour commencer, il est bon de comprendre ce que chaque sport exige.

Court Pace Ratings
La vitesse d'un court de tennis est définie par Court Pace Ratings (CPR). Nous testons des échantillons en laboratoire selon la classification officielle de l'ITF ou à des fins de développement. Nous catégorisons le rythme du court comme lent, moyen ou rapide en mesurant le coefficient de friction et de restitution. Il est important de définir les besoins de l'utilisateur final ou le type de tribunal dans un appel d'offres pour s'assurer qu'un produit est conforme.

Differential Scanning Calorimeter
This technique is used for material identification of polymers. At Sports Labs, our tests are related to sports construction material. This is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference between the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and specific reference is measured as a function of temperature.

Flammability
Safety tests are paramount at sports venues, and none is more important than the flammability of a surface or sports floor. Tender specifications may identify the category required and it may differ depending on many things such as indoor or outdoor settings and the surrounding infrastructure.

Forensic Investigations
Sports surface products and base components can be complex, so when problems arise, it is good practice to ask an expert to investigate. Most issues, once identified, can be fixed quite easily.

Head Injury Criterion (HIC)
Player or user safety is paramount and with test methods such as Head Injury Criterion (HIC) we can assess the likelihood of a serious injury from player surface interaction.

Indoor Floors
Indoor floors can be tested to EN 14904 or to sports-specific requirements such as basketball with FIBA. From area elastic and mixed elastic to combined elastic and point elastic, we have the equipment, experience, and facilities to work with you to optimize performance.

Material Identification
Each component in a sports surface plays a role in overall performance. Identifying a component clearly for polymer trace, density, shape, size, and color allows it to be analyzed to prove it is the same product or material.

Product Quality Control
Quality control is important for any manufacturer of sports products, surfaces, wearables, or technology. Sports Labs provides clients custom and tailored programs for items to be independently analyzed. This step can sometimes be a part of a governing body quality program requested by a buyer or undertaken voluntarily by a supplier.

Slip Resistance
A player’s interaction with a surface is primarily through the soles of their shoes. The slip resistance test is critical to ensure a surface meets safety requirements. Results must fall within minimum and maximum tolerances to reduce or prevent injuries.

Thermogravimetric Analysis
Identifying polymerics organic, inorganic and elastomer material is a key set of tests most conducted for sports surfaces using the Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). This is a method of analysis where the mass of a sample is measured over time as the temperature changes.

Toxicology
Toxicology tests consider the health of end-users of sports products and any potential environmental impact. These tests are most referenced in DIN 18035-7 for toxicology.

UV Testing
A product’s ability to withstand ultraviolet light can be defined in laboratory tests under a controlled environment. Ultraviolet A (UVA) has a longer wavelength and Ultraviolet B (UVB) has a shorter wavelength. Both are used in a chamber with a cyclic function of moisture and UV. This test enables us to categorize wear in an accelerated fashion.

Water Infiltration
Outdoor sports surfaces and components must have an ability to manage water vertically or horizontally to prevent ponding. The water infiltration test can be conducted in a controlled laboratory environment to ensure a product design is sufficient for the climatic conditions where it will be installed.

Wear Simulation - Accelerated
At Sports Labs we can test products to see how they perform under stress and high usage. These tests should be run prior to a product’s launch, purchase, or installation.
