        of impact attenuation
Annex B (informative) - Typical examples of trace
        of acceleration against time and curve of HIC
        and g[max] values against drop height
Annex C (informative) - Verification of computer
        algorithm used for the calculation of HIC

This European Standard specifies the test apparatus and the impact test methods for determining the impact attenuation of surfacing by measuring the acceleration experienced during impact. Test apparatus in compliance with this standard are applicable to tests carried out in a laboratory or on site by either methods described.NOTEThe test methods described in this standard are also applicable for impact areas required in other standards than for playground equipment, e.g. for outdoor fitness equipment and parkour equipment.
