For Chinese school sports facilities, GB 36246-2018 is an important mandatory standard, but its requirements should be applied according to the specific surface type and test method.

The figures in your draft—such as 47 BPN for certain wet-condition testing and 80–110 BPN for certain dry-condition surfaces—should not be presented as a universal “non-infill artificial turf slip-resistance standard.”

The correct approach is to identify:

1. The specific type of sports surface;
2. The applicable test method;
3. Whether the test is dry or wet;
4. The exact acceptance requirement;
5. Whether the tested sample represents the supplied product/system.

For international sports projects, applicable FIFA, EN, DIN, ASTM or other project specifications may take precedence.

Practical Acceptance Checklist

When purchasing non-infill artificial turf, don’t simply ask:

“Is this turf non-slip?”

Instead, ask the supplier for measurable evidence.

1. Request the actual test report

Check:

• dry/wet condition,
• testing temperature,
• test method,
• test equipment,
• sample description,
• test date.

2. Verify drainage

After installation, conduct a controlled water test or observe the system during rainfall.

Look for:

• rapid water disappearance,
• absence of persistent ponding,
• functioning drainage outlets,
• no local low spots.

3. Check the complete system

For sports and children’s facilities, evaluate:

Artificial turf + shock pad + base + drainage

rather than testing the turf carpet alone.

4. Inspect shaded areas

If the project contains permanently shaded areas, regularly inspect for algae, moss and organic contamination.
