Martial Arts Mat Safety Certifications: The Importance of ASTM & EN71

As early as 2023, QT MAT conducted ASTM and EN71 standard testing on its EVA Puzzle Mat products.

Through testing by third-party accredited laboratories, the products are ensured to meet international standards in material safety, physical performance, and environmental criteria, providing customers with more reliable safety assurance during use.

The purpose of these tests is to allow customers to purchase and use QT MAT products with confidence and peace of mind.

1. ASTM Certification – International Material Safety Standard

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) is a globally recognized authority for material and product safety standards.

For martial arts training mats, ASTM certification ensures:

• Non-toxic materials: Odorless and safe for human use
• Excellent cushioning and rebound: Reduces the risk of injuries during training
• Durable and compressive-resistant: Maintains performance over long-term use

ASTM standards are widely applied in materials, plastic products, and sports facilities, serving as an important reference for assessing product safety and reliability.

2. EN71 Certification – European Safety Standard for Children

EN71 is a European safety standard for toys and children's products, also applicable to training facility materials.

EN71 certification primarily covers:

• Chemical safety: Testing for heavy metals, formaldehyde, and other harmful substances
• Physical performance: Impact resistance and wear testing

Mats that pass EN71 testing provide reliable safety even in environments used by children and adolescents.

3. Conclusion

In martial arts training and fitness environments, mat safety is a critical factor. QT MAT consistently follows international standards, focusing on product safety and user experience, providing reliable training mats for customers worldwide.
