Quality Testing Criteria

There are four basic categories that define the overall performance of the synthetic surface and these will form the basis of the testing which will be carried out both on the laboratory samples and the completed field.

These are:

• The resistance of the surface to wear and tear (durability)

• Ball/ surface interaction

• Player/surface interaction

• Pitch quality features and aesthetics
