Overview
This document (CEN/TR 17519:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 217 "Surfaces for sports areas", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 005-01-22 AA "Kunststoffflächen und Kunststoffrasenflächen (SpA zu CEN/TC 217/WG 6 und WG 11)" ("Synthetic surfaces (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 217/WG6 and WG 11)") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau). This document describes ways of containing infill materials used in many types of synthetic turf sports fields within the confines of the sports field, so they are not dispersed into the surrounding environment. The options described are based on examples of best practice identified by members of CEN/TC 217. This document is intended to be of practical use, to create awareness amongst field designers, venue owners, installation companies and those maintaining synthetic turf sports fields. It is applicable for all forms of synthetic turf sports field, from those used for community activities to those used by professional and elite level athletes.
