DIN EN 1969:2000-08

The document specifies two methods for the determination of the thickness of synthetic surfaces for sports areas, suitable for use in the laboratory and in situ. Method A, a destructive test method, is intended for use wehre the thickness needs to be measured to an accuracy of ±0,1 mm, when the thickness of different layers is to be determined. Method B, a non-destructive test method, is intended for use as a routine check on thickness, e.g. for control purposes or when surveying a large area of synthetic surfacing. It gives measurements to an accuracy between ±0,5 mm and ±1,5 mm, depending upon the texture.
