Manufacturers are able to producesurfaces that provide a credible alternative solution inparts of the world where the climate or resources makethe provision of good-quality natural-grass pitches difficultor impossible. Similarly, the development of football turf hasprovided a potential solution for facility owners/operatorswishing to maximise the use of their facilities throughacceptability, as it is geared towards durability and safetyfor more intense use at community level. Fields certified toboth categories are eligible to host international matches,subject to the relevant competition regulations.The laboratory test programme that football turf mustpass as part of the FIFA Quality Programme for FootballTurf includes a schedule of simulated use to assess theability of the surface to perform for a minimum periodof time. The degree of simulated use undertaken onFIFA Quality Pro-compliant products is designed to replicate the low-to-moderatelevels of use typically foundon football-specific stadiumpitches, whilst the degree ofsimulated use undertaken onFIFA Quality-compliant productsis designed to replicate thehigher levels of use found on A CREDIBLE ALTERNATIVESOLUTION IN PARTS OFTHE WORLD WHERE THE To ensure that these new forms ofplaying surface replicate the attributesofgood-quality natural grass,provide a playing environment thatdoes not increase the risk of injuryto players and match officials, andare of adequate durability (provided that assesses ball and surface interaction, player andsurface interaction and the durability of products, andallows successful manufacturers to enter into a licensingagreement for the use of the prestigious FIFA Quality(formerly FIFA Recommended) marks.performance criteria of the FIFA Quality Programmefor Football Turf for the lifetime of the playing surface.Failure to undertake adequate maintenance also reducesthe period of time that a pitch may satisfy the requirementsof the FIFA Quality Programme for Football Turf. Football turf was endorsed for official competitivematches in July 2004, when The International FootballAssociation Board included the option of using artificialsurfaces that met the requirements of the FIFA QualityConcept for Football Turf or the International Artificial Turf This edition of the Test Manual takes effect on 15 April 2024. The FIFA Quality Programme for Football Turf certifiesfields that have been found to fulfil the requirements ofthe programme. It should be noted thatcertificationdoes not constitute product approval.
