Electronic Timing Systems
Sports can have electronic timing systems triggered by several inputs such as sound, light or vibration. Testing the accuracy of these systems and their consistency is important for regulating play time and overtime. Reliable information is vital to support referees making decisions that can rely on a fraction of a second.

Goal Post Testing
In addition to considering player welfare and safety, key performance criteria should be met when selecting a goal post. There are national and international standards to follow in addition to governing body tests and certification procedures, including FIFA and FIH. We test both under ISO 17025.
