  3. Extending the life of artificial turf football pitches

Extending the life of artificial turf football pitches

Up until recently an artificial turf football pitch was only tested and certified in accordance with the prevailing FIFA standards directly after installation. Now more and more countries have a retesting obligation for older fields. In The Netherlands artificial turf football pitches installed in 2010 have had to be tested in accordance with the KNVB standard for use in the 8th year after construction. All the more reason to keep the finger on the pulse with Kiwa ISA Sport's KwaZo (KwaliteitsZorg - [Quality Assurance]) for artificial turf football pitches.

Who is it for?
Owners of artificial turf football pitches;
Managers of artificial turf football pitches.

When do you need it?
At regular intervals throughout the life of an artificial turf football pitch.

Process steps
KwaZo (KwaliteitsZorg - [Quality Assurance]) is a customised product which can be worked out in more detail with the client. Generally speaking it consists of:

- A periodic visual quality inspection which includes, among other things, checking for loose 
seams, contamination (by algae, for example) and wear of the pitch; 
- A field measurement, which involves measuring various sports-related properties such as 
shock-absorption, skid resistance, ball bounce and ball roll behaviour as well as checking the 
layer thickness of the infill and the evenness of the pitch; 
- Maintenance and renovation advice;
In the event of any disputes about warranty conditions, for instance, Kiwa ISA Sport can act as an intermediary.
