Sports flooring standards
- Widely recognized in Europe.
- Most sport flooring standards are developed in Europe.
- No official sport flooring standards currently exist in North America.
- The German DIN series is the original and most widely known sports flooring Standard.
- DIN V 18032-2 (April 2001) is the latest version of the DIN standard for sport flooring.
The original and most widely known: DIN STANDARDS
DIN Standards were initially developed by the Otto Graf Institute, affiliated with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Using the "Artificial Athlete Berlin" apparatus, which simulated the response of a typical athlete's interaction with a sports surface, various tests were applied to point elastic (synthetic), area elastic (wood), combination and mixed flooring systems.
