Certification is per system, and it is the gate.
A manufacturer's membership is not a product approval. Where a certificate exists we quote its number. Where it does not, we say so rather than implying one.

FIBA carries a number. BWF does not.
FIBA approval is issued against a named system and carries a licence number, so a floor either holds one or it does not. 5 of the 9 systems do. On a sanctioned court, the licence number belongs on the purchase order and the certificate itself belongs in the submittal, not a page from a brochure.
BWF Grade 1 International Elite is claimed on 3 systems and is stated as exactly those words. There is no certificate reference anywhere in the forty pages of the catalogue. We ask for it. We do not print one that has not been issued, and we would rather tell a badminton client that up front than after the order.
EN 14904 is a European sports-floor standard, tested here with the Danish Technological Institute. It classifies a floor; it does not measure it for you. The catalogue publishes class letters and no shock-absorption, vertical-deformation or ball-rebound values, so a tender written around a number has to get that number from the manufacturer.

The FIBA column is the manufacturer’s own certificate string, reproduced as it is written. One of them reads FIBA Level 1 and the other four read FIBA 2020 Level 1; that difference is theirs, not a transcription slip, and it is the kind of detail a submittal turns on.
What the catalogue does not contain.
Every page of it was read and the absences below were recorded rather than assumed away. On a floor specification the missing number is usually the one that decides something. None of these gaps stops a floor being specified. All of them go on the enquiry.
- Any price, rate, budget figure, MOQ, incoterm or lead time.
- Panel dimensions and weights for the portable systems - 'light weight panels' is the only statement.
- Board widths other than the 22x130 mm quoted on the fixed-system detail pages.
- Per-species technical properties.
- Shock absorption / vertical deformation / ball-rebound VALUES - only the EN 14904 class letters.
- Warranty terms beyond '10 years on the 7-layer UV coating at normal wear and tear' (p8).
- Maintenance and cleaning regime - listed as a choosing factor on p3 but never covered.
- Any statement about slab moisture, DPM or Thai tropical-humidity slab conditions; KTL's moisture story is entirely board-side (customised moisture content, back-lacquered boards).
That includes price. There is no rate, no budget figure and no lead time anywhere in the document, so there is none on this site either. Any number here would be ours rather than the manufacturer’s, and a floor is not something to guess at.
