FIFA FOOTBALL SYNTHETIC TURF STANDARDS

The FIFA Quality Licensee initiative ensures that artificial football turf fields meet the highest standards in terms of quality, performance and safety according to the needs of the end user. Act Global uses FIFA benchmarks in its product development, quality standards and sport performance test methods as they were based upon top professional natural grass stadiums.

JOINT STRENGTH

Measures the maximum force recorded to destroy the joints where they are sewn or adhered with adhesive

CLIMATIC RESISTANCE

UV / Water / Heat - Measures the color change, abrasion resistance and joint strength.

SIMULATED WEAR & ABRASION RESISTANCE

The surface is artificially abraded (simulation of multiple years of wear) and tested for: Shock Absorption, Vertical Deformation, Vertical Ball Rebound, and Rotational Resistance

INFILL SPLASH

Measures how much infill is encapsulated and how much is splashed during play

SKIN ABRASION/ SKIN FRICTION

Measures the abrasiveness and friction of artificial turf on the skin of the player when sliding.

SHOCK ABSORPTION & VERTICAL DEFORMATION

Measures the impact absorption provided by synthetic turf to a player running or falling on as well as the foot stability of the surface as a player runs across it

SLIP RESISTANCE SCALE & DECELERATION

Measures the ability of studs to slide through the surface without causing the player to slip over. Slip resistance deceleration measures the deceleration experienced by the players shoe as it makes contact with the surface. If the deceleration is too high, damages to joints and ligaments may occur

ROTATIONAL RESISTANCE

Measures the interaction between the shoe sole and the surface of artificial grass relating to the ability of a player to change direction.

VERTICAL BALL REBOUND

Measures how high the ball bounces when falling vertically onto a synthetic turf field.

BALL ROLL

Measures how far the ball rolls onto synthetic grass compared to natural grass.

ANGLE BALL REBOUND

Measures how the ball rebounds from an artificial turf surface when striking it at a shallow angle under dry and wet conditions.
