Standards for Sports Facilities: Requirements and Test Methods for Sports Halls and Sports Grounds

Sports halls, sports grounds and ice sports facilities must meet a wide range of requirements. Numerous standards need to be taken into account for the planning, construction, operation and inspection of sports facilities. The package DIN Handbook 134/1 and 134/2 brings together the relevant DIN standards for sports facilities, sports halls, sports grounds and sports flooring in a coordinated complete edition and provides comprehensive access to the key requirements and test methods.

The included publications complement each other from a technical perspective: while the first volume summarizes the normative requirements, the second volume contains the corresponding test methods. This places sports facility planning, implementation, assessment and testing in a shared context.

• DIN Handbook 134/1: Sports halls and sports grounds; Requirements
  The first volume contains the key requirements for sports facilities. It includes standards for sports halls and rooms for multipurpose use, sports flooring, sports grounds and outdoor facilities, as well as ice sports facilities. The collection also covers requirements for impact protection wall systems, spectator facilities and various sports surface and surfacing systems.
• DIN Handbook 134/2: Sports halls and sports grounds – Test methods; Standards
  The second volume supplements the requirements with the corresponding test methods. It includes procedures for testing sports flooring, sports surfaces and materials. The standards address, among other things, tests for force reduction, vertical deformation, energy restitution, ball behaviour, water absorption, water infiltration, wear, weathering, ageing, as well as seam strength and tensile strength.

Comprehensive Support for Sports Facility Construction and Planning

By combining both volumes, users receive a continuous overview of requirements and their verification. The standards collections make it possible to directly connect required properties with the procedures used to verify and assess them. This significantly facilitates working with the relevant standards for sports facility construction, sports facility planning and sports complexes.
