TEST REQUIREMENTS4.1 Outdoor footballs ThE FIFA QUALITy 1.2ThE FIFA QUALITyPrOgrAMME FOr In March 1995 the International Football AssociationBoard decided to adopt compulsory testing and markingfor footballs to be used in official matches. Officialmatches are all competitions (both indoor and outdoor) In response to the need for better-quality products intop-level matches and the constant developments insports equipment, stringent quality requirements forOutdoor, Futsal and Beach Soccer have been developed.To this effect, the two quality levels FIFA QUALITY PRO,the professional standard recommended for all top levelmatches and FIFA QUALITY, the general level for training Law 2 of the Laws of the Game for Outdoor Football,Futsal and Beach Soccer require that footballs eligible forFIFA and confederation matches meet minimum qualitystandards. Such footballs have to be tested, certified and The testing and certification for the FIFA QualityProgramme under which footballs that meet theminimum standards may bear the FIFA QUALITY PROFIFA QUALITY and FIFA BASIC marks is executed by one For any questions relating to the FIFA Quality Programmefor Footballs please contactquality@FIFA.org. This technical guide contains an overview of the qualityrequirements behind the three marks FIFA QUALITY TEST PrOTOCOL 2.1 SAMPLES AND SAMPLE PrEPArATION Specific test methods have been developed fortesting footballs on the minimum requirements for thecategories FIFA QUALITY PRO and FIFA QUALITY and The ambient conditions during testing shall be a room Inflating (ball pressure) The footballs are inflated with compressed air to adefined pressure. The air pressure in the football ismeasured with a pressure gauge; a valve for the release 2.1.1Football samples Identical samples (either in original white or in finaldesign and surface finish) of the model to be testedshall be sent to the test institute in a partially inflated A pressure gauge 1.5 bar with an accuracy of ±0.01 baris to be used for inflating. The pressure gauge shall be Licensees can provide the test institutes with a ballpressure they would like the ball to be tested at, as longas the pressure values are within the required range of theLaws of the Game (i.e. 0.6–1.1 bar for Outdoor, 0.6-0.9 bar For instrumented footballs, the technology may bereplaced with a non-active (dummy) sensor. The onlypermitted modification to the football must be thepresence or absence of the active sensor, meaning that Upon receipt of the samples the test institute shallallocate a number to each of the samples, between 1 and9 for FIFA QUALITY PRO and FIFA QUALITY and 1 and 2.1.2 Sample preparation Unless explicitly stated in the testing procedure withinthis manual, the following conditions shall be used for all The pressure value at which the ball is tested at must bewithin the range indicated on the ball. FIFA recommendsindicating a specific pressure value and to test at that 2.2 TEChNOLOgyWIThIN FOOTbALLS Instrumented footballs (footballs incorporating technology)are accepted for testing under the FIFA Quality Programmefor Footballs testing procedure. It is a prerequisite that thetechnology within the ball conforms to international health, The footballs are conditioned for at least 24 hours ina standard atmosphere of temperature 20 ± 2°C and The testing procedure for instrumented footballs is identicalto the standard procedure, except for the addition of botha balance test (FIFA Test Method 08.b) and a final check oneach test sample in terms of visual and auditory abnormalities(i.e. rattle or impression of technology release) especiallyafter the Shape/Size retention test (FIFA Test Method 07). 2.3 TESTINgOrDEr After the conditioning the balls are to be adjusted tothe original ball pressure and testing is to be conductedunder the same test conditions and without anytransition or bouncing. The tests are to be carried out in TEST METhODS •The valve is on the upside and centred.
