To earn the FIFA Quality mark, the newly installed field must undergo a rigorous set of tests to ensure it meets international performance benchmarks:

12. – Infill Material Thickness: Confirms the correct volume of sand and rubber has been applied.
13. – Shock Absorption: Measures how well the surface cushions impact to reduce injuries.
14. – Rotational Resistance: Ensures players can pivot and turn safely without risk of slipping.
15. – Vertical Ball Rebound: Tests how naturally the ball bounces on the surface.
16. – Ball Roll: Measures the distance and speed the ball travels over the turf.
17. – Flatness Test: Assesses surface evenness across the entire pitch.

Partnering with a trusted artificial turf manufacturer that understands FIFA testing requirements can significantly streamline certification. The FIFA-approved synthetic grass supplier should provide not only turf materials but also technical documentation and support for testing compliance.
