SPORT SURFACES
To ensure safe play, it is important that any playing surface is in perfect working order and a safe condition and at AITEX we perform quality control and testing in the laboratory and in situ on the surface itself. Any sport is played in specific conditions on specialised surfaces, so it is essential for a sport’s official body to have laboratories and centres which it approves. The quality and performance of the surface– natural or artificial – is guaranteed: we test football, paddle tennis and rugby surfaces and other indoor sports surfaces, such as indoor football or basketball.
The national and international bodies for different sports homologate sports surfaces to ensure its quality and performance, as well as guaranteeing the safety of players. AITEX is an accredited laboratory for bodies including the Fédération Internationale de Football Association – FIFA, for football and futsal, World Rugby, the Spanish Padel Federation and FIBA.
