2 Page 2 of 6 Report #5930US, October 15, Delivery of Samples Date November 11, 2003 Amount and Size of Samples 4 sections 50 cm x 50 cm Sample No Test Procedures The tests reported in paragraph 5 were performed according to DIN :1992. The climate during testing was Type 23/50 according DIN if not indicated otherwise. The test results are opposed to the requirements of DIN V : Since the test procedures (paragraph 5) have not changed since 1992, results can be assessed with reference to the 2004 version of DIN Test Results (DIN V , Table 4, Line 1-9) 5.1 Modified Vertical Deformation Temperature +0 C +23 C +40 C Modified Vert. Deformation 1.0 mm 1.2 mm 1.5 mm Requirement: 4.0 (PF) mm (RT) PF = Playing Fields; RT = Running Track 5.2 Force Reduction Temperature +0 C +23 C +40 C Force Reduction KA % 36 % 40 % Requirement: >45% (PF) none (RT)

EOX Extraction ----*) max. 100 mg/kg Lead (Pb) < max Cadmium (Cd) < max Chromate total (Cr) < max Chromate VI (CrVI) < max Mercury (Hg) < max Zinc (Zn) 0.74 max. 3.0 Tin (Sn) < max Biological Decomposition ---- No requirement**) Smell no smell Description Visual condition not muddy Description Inhibition of Nitrification ---- No requirement *) Determination of EOX only if DOC >20 **) Determination when needed only 7. Conclusions The synthetic surfacing tested complied with the requirements of DIN V : in respect to Light Athletic Sports Areas. The test results listed above describe the properties of the submitted sample. They apply to the product in general if the product is manufactured/installed using the same material components and the same installation technique as used with the sample tested. Dipl.Ing. H.J.
