EN 1517 specifies a method for the determination of resistance to impact of sports floor systems. It is primarily designed to be used on surfaces intended for use in indoor sports halls. The test can be undertaken in the laboratory or on site.When undertaking tests on site, it is important to note that permanent damage to the sports floor can be caused.

EN 1651+A1 is applicable only to harnesses for paragliders. The intermediate attachment system between the harness and the paraglider does not form part of this standard.This Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods.

This document specifies a method for determining the dimensional stability (bowing and curling) of shock pads used within sports surface systems.

This document specifies functional requirements (see Clause 3) and specific safety requirements in addition to the general safety requirements in EN 913 (see Clause 4), which is read in conjunction with this standard.
This document is applicable to two types of parallel bars (see Table 1) intended for use under supervision of a competent person.

This document specifies a method of test for the determination of behaviour under a rolling load of certain surfaces for sports areas. It is suitable for tests undertaken in the laboratory and on site.

This document specifies a method of test for the determination of resistance to dynamic fatigue of shock pads (including elastic layers) used in synthetic turf surfacing systems. It can also be used on other types on complete forms of sports surfacing systems.
The test is undertaken on test specimens in the laboratory.
