Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials Within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment

Importancia y uso:

6.1 The purpose of this specification is to establish minimum impact attenuation requirements for playground surfacing materials in order to reduce the risk of severe head injury from falls.

6.2 This specification provides a uniform means of quantifying the impact attenuation performance of playground surfacing materials and is appropriately used to compare the relative performance of different playground surfacing materials.

6.3 This specification is to be used as a reference for specifying the impact attenuation performance of playground surfacing materials.

6.4 In combination with data relating impact test scores to head injury, the information generated by application of this specification is suitable to estimate the relative risk of a severe head injury due to a fall.
