Start Flooring Brief
ATHREN Timber · FIBA Test Evidence
Two manufacturer timber-floor samples were tested under the FIBA Equipment & Venue Centre programme in 2020. Both reports record a PASS against the submitted Level 2 wooden-floor requirements, while explicitly stating that the reports are not Certificates of Approval.
What the supplied reports establish
The evidence is useful because it records the construction type and measured performance of the submitted single-keel and double-keel samples. It does not establish a current FIBA approval certificate for today's ATHREN supply configuration.
FIBA Equipment & Venue Centre Approval Programme laboratory test reports · wooden flooring.
Single-keel and double-keel submitted samples both recorded PASS against the Level 2 requirements covered by their reports.
The reports expressly say they are not Certificates of Approval. Current approval/listing is confirmed separately where required.
Documented laboratory reference
These figures come from the manufacturer samples submitted to the FIBA Equipment & Venue Centre laboratory-test programme. They are useful performance evidence, but the reports are not Certificates of Approval and do not by themselves prove that the current production build is unchanged.
| Performance property | Single-keel test sample | Double-keel test sample |
|---|---|---|
| Report result | PASS against submitted Level 2 wooden-floor requirements | PASS against submitted Level 2 wooden-floor requirements |
| Force reduction | 57% | 55% |
| Vertical deformation | 1.6 mm | 1.6 mm |
| Ball rebound | 93% | 93% |
| Slip resistance | 86 | 84 |
| Resistance to wear | 53 mg | 68 mg |
| Rolling-load indentation | 0.37 mm | 0.44 mm |
Evidence boundary: these are documented results for submitted 2020 samples. Current production equivalence, current governing-body approval/listing and any project-specific certification requirement are checked separately before quotation.
Claim boundaries
These guardrails stay in place unless supported by the applicable project documentation.
Any claim that ATHREN T-S1 or T-D2 is currently FIBA Approved
Any claim of current FIBA certification without a current certificate or official listing
Any extension of the 2020 test results to portable, floating or materially different floor constructions
Next evidence pack
The 2020 test results can now be published as historical laboratory references. The remaining work is to connect them cleanly to today's production and close the current compliance documentation.

Typical project pathways include residential projects, commercial projects, hospitality projects, and international projects. Final suitability depends on the exact configuration, site conditions, operating requirements and destination.
Before specification or quotation, the project review should confirm: Verified product specifications or documented product facts; Clear applications, limitations and configuration boundaries; Project inputs required for manual quotation or technical review; Apollo supply-only scope and purchaser/local-project responsibilities. Claims are kept tied to the exact proposed system rather than transferred from a related product or reference configuration.
Apollo can supply suitable projects internationally where the product and destination pathway are current. Send the project location, intended use, dimensions or quantities, timing, relevant drawings or photographs, and any known performance, compliance or environmental requirements for review.
