World Rugby Regulation 22 is the governing framework: it specifies laboratory and field tests for shock absorption, energy restitution, vertical deformation, head-impact attenuation (HIC), rotational resistance, ball rebound and skin friction.<\/p> <p>The HIC requirement is the headline challenge. On an installed field, the surface must demonstrate a critical fall height of at least 1.45 meters \u2014 meaning a player&#8217;s head can survive an impact from that height without exceeding the injury threshold. Achieving this on artificial turf almost always requires a shock pad beneath the carpet, paired with controlled infill depth.<\/p> <p>Regulation 22 also mandates retesting within two years of installation, and major-event venues may be tested within three months. This retesting cycle means the turf system must hold its performance characteristics through seasons of play, not just on day one.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"rg-narrative-col\"> <p>Skin abrasion is another Regulation 22 parameter that sets rugby apart. Sliding tackles and ground-level rucks expose bare skin to fiber friction. PE monofilament produces measurably lower abrasion values than fibrillated yarn, and the 50 mm pile depth ensures a cushioned interface between skin and the sand-rubber infill column.<\/p> <div class=\"rg-pullquote\"> Community rugby pitches frequently share with football \u2014 a well-specified 50 mm system with shock pad can serve both codes, making the investment case for dual-use clubs and municipal facilities. <\/div> <p>Relyir supplies the turf product with full specification documentation and supports your field-test laboratory through the Regulation 22 compliance process.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rg-section-cta\"> <a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"\/contact-us\/\">Request Technical Datasheets<\/a> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<!-- ===== FACTORY DIRECT + 8-STEP PROCESS ===== -->\n<section class=\"rg-factory\"> <div class=\"container-xl\"> <div class=\"section-heading\"> <p class=\"eyebrow\">Factory Direct<\/p> <h2>Eight Production Steps Under One Roof<\/h2> <p class=\"lead\">Relyir has manufactured artificial grass since 2006.

Full match play requires a fully compliant system; training areas have more flexibility.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Is the shock pad really necessary?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>For regulation compliance, yes \u2014 the sport&#8217;s bodies mandate it because tackle and ruck impacts are the heaviest of any field sport. For non-compliance uses like PE and training, pads still extend lifespan and improve comfort.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>What does World Rugby Regulation 22 require from the turf?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Regulation 22 specifies laboratory and field tests for shock absorption, energy restitution, vertical deformation, head-impact attenuation (HIC \u2265 1.45 m on installed fields), rotational resistance, ball rebound, skin friction and skin abrasion. Pile height must be at least 50 mm, and World Rugby favors 60 mm carpet. Relyir supplies full documentation to support your testing program.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Why is the HIC threshold stricter for rugby than other sports?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Rugby involves full-body contact at speed \u2014 tackles, rucks and mauls \u2014 where players&#8217; heads can impact the surface from standing height or higher. The 1.45 m critical fall height requirement reflects this risk. Achieving it almost always requires a shock pad beneath the turf carpet, paired with carefully controlled infill depth.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Does the field need retesting after installation?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes. Regulation 22 requires field retesting within two years of installation, and major-event venues may be tested within three months. This means the turf system must hold its performance characteristics through seasons of play. Relyir designs its products with long-term performance retention in mind.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Can the same field serve both rugby and football?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes. Community rugby pitches frequently share with football. A well-specified 50 mm system with shock pad can serve both codes, making the investment case for dual-use clubs and municipal facilities. Line markings for both sports can be tufted into the carpet during production.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>How does skin abrasion testing affect fiber choice?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Regulation 22 includes skin friction and skin abrasion parameters because rugby involves frequent ground-level contact. PE monofilament fibers produce measurably lower abrasion values than fibrillated yarn. All five Relyir models use monofilament or monofilament-equivalent construction to address this requirement.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>What roll sizes and customizations are available?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Standard rolls are 4 \u00d7 25 m or 2 \u00d7 25 m with a maximum width of 5 m. We tuft white line markings and team logos directly into the carpet, and can adjust blade density, pile height and fiber colors to project requirements.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Do you provide free samples before we order?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes. Samples are free of charge \u2014 you only cover the shipping. Standard swatches are 20 \u00d7 20 cm and we typically send three to four models per project so you can compare pile heights and colors side by side. Standard samples ship via DHL or FedEx within 4\u20136 days; custom-matched samples add 10\u201315 days of production.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>Do you handle shipping and export paperwork?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Yes. Choose between two options: delivered to your destination port, with export customs clearance in China, international ocean freight and cargo insurance included in one all-inclusive cost; or delivered to a Chinese port if you prefer to work with your own freight forwarder. Other delivery arrangements can be accommodated on request.<\/p> <\/div> <\/details> <details> <summary>What is the minimum order size?<\/summary> <div class=\"rg-faq-answer\"> <p>Orders range from single rolls for smaller installations to full container loads for large developments.
