Impact absorbing playground surfacing. Safety requirements and test methodsThis European Standard specifies requirements for surfacing to be used in children's playgrounds and specific requirements for areas where impact attenuation is necessary. It suggests the factors to be considered when selecting playground surfacing and gives a method of test by which the impact attenuation can be determined. This test gives a critical fall height for surfacing, that represents the upper limit of its effectiveness in reducing head

The main changes in this British Standard from the previous edition take account of the following

Test liquid

security and access considerations

to fulfil the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive

Greater thicknesses for sections and hollow sections may be agreed

Measurements are given

It does not apply to insulated bags designed specifically for short term storage and transportation of frozen foods

the test specimen will inevitably fail

A facility may be included to provide an audio channel
