If your mat uses synthetic yarns for its turf, ask your supplier for the fiber content artwork for those yarns.
If your mat will be marked for import, check the manufacturing country and company RN in its label artwork with your supplier.
If your mat will be offered in Minnesota, ask about PFAS used in the turf or outdoor surface treatments.
If your mat is being imported for US sale, you'll need its general certificate identifying the fire safety rule applied to the finished mat.
