For rugby-related field applications, the surface should align with recognized sports-surface frameworks and testing references. Your source references the following:
- GB/T 20394-2019 for artificial turf
- International Rugby Board / World Rugby field technical standards
- FIFA Basic as a broader benchmark for multi-sport high-performance synthetic systems
- third-party testing references such as SGS and Labosport
Vivaturf’s supplied performance values are presented as meeting or exceeding the relevant reference ranges for traction, dimensional stability, and material safety.
6. Environmental and Safety Advantages
Traction alone is not enough. Rugby fields also need to support player safety and low-impact facility operation.
6.1 No loose infill
Because the surface is non-infill:
- there is no infill migration
- there is no infill compaction to rebalance
- there is less particulate spread around the field
- traction remains less dependent on ongoing infill management
6.2 Low-emission material safety
Your source provides the following environmental indicators:
- Composite material system including PBAT + PLA + HDPE
- Environmentally oriented content share: ≥30%
- Heavy metal content: ≤80 mg/kg
- lead ≤40 mg/kg
- cadmium ≤8 mg/kg
- Formaldehyde: ≤0.08 mg/L
- VOC release: ≤0.4 mg/m³ (24 h)
These values support use in training, school, and public sports environments where health and air-quality concerns matter.
6.3 Lower resource demand during use
During operation, the system avoids:
- irrigation
- fertilization
- pesticide use
- loose infill replenishment
This supports a lower-maintenance and lower-emission operating model compared with natural grass and some infilled systems.
