ASTM F1162/F1162M-18
(Specification)Standard Specification for Pole Vault Landing Systems
Standard Specification for Pole Vault Landing Systems
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
6.1 The dynamic data obtained with the procedures given in this specification measure the cushioning properties of the pole vault landing systems tested.
6.2 The size of the pole vault landing system is specified with respect to the kinematics of body movement.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers minimum requirements of size, physical characteristics of materials, standard testing procedures, labeling and identification of pole vault landing systems.
1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 This 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.
1.4 This 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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 base unit sections, n—those components of a pole vault landing system where the pole vaulter intends to land.
3.1.1.1 Discussion—
The base unit sections provide the majority of the padding behind the planting box. In most pole vault landing systems, they are
several large rectangular sections that compose the majority of this portion of the landing system. (See Fig. 1.)

It may function both as padding and as a binder to help hold the base units and front bun sections in place during use. (See Fig.
