1.1This test method covers all playground surfaces to be tested in a laboratory setting at a specific drop height established by the manufacturer of the playground surface to determine shock absorption properties at the specified height above the surface and to evaluate surfaces based on their Gmax and HIC values described in Specification F1292.
Note 1:This test method is not intended to replace Specification F1292 for critical fall height (CFH) testing but to provide more information to either the manufacturer of the surface or the owner/operator purchasing the surface.
Note 2:This test method informs the owner/operator of the impact attenuating performance of the surfacing system at the specified height used in the test.
1.2This test method is specific to surfacing used in conjunction with playground equipment, such as that described in Specifications F1148, F1487, F1918, and CSA Z614.
1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
