Impact attenuating playground surfacing - Methods of test for determination of impact attenuation
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.
NOTE The 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.

Sols d'aires de jeux absorbant l'impact - Méthodes d'essai pour la détermination de l'atténuation de l'impact
La présente Norme européenne prescrit des méthodes permettant de déterminer l'atténuation de l'impact des sols d'aires de jeux par mesurage de l'accélération subie durant l'impact. La méthode 1 décrit le mode opératoire pour déterminer la « hauteur de chute critique » (voir 5.1) pour les sols ; cette hauteur constitue la limite supérieure d'efficacité du sol à réduire les blessures à la tête lorsque des équipements d'aires de jeux sont utilisés conformément à l'EN 1176. La méthode 1 s'applique aussi bien aux essais en laboratoire qu'aux essais sur site. La méthode 2 décrit la procédure à utiliser pour évaluer l'adéquation de l'atténuation de l'impact de sols installés par rapport aux équipements d'aires de jeux tels qu'ils sont installés (voir 5.2).
NOTE La méthode 2 est également utilisée pour la zone d'impact des modules d'entraînement physique de plein air (EN 16630) et d'autres équipements couverts par cette norme.
Podloge otroških igrišč, ki ublažijo udarce - Ugotavljanje kritične višine padca
Ta evropski standard določa metode za določanje ublažitve udarca ob podlogo otroških igrišč z merjenjem pospeševanja, ki nastane pri udarcu. 1. metoda opisuje postopek ugotavljanja »kritične višine padca« (glej točko 5.1) za podlogo, ki predstavlja zgornjo mejo njene učinkovitosti pri zmanjšanju poškodb glave med uporabo igralne opreme, ki je skladna s skupino standardov EN 1176. 1. metoda se uporablja za preskušanja v laboratoriju ali na mestu uporabe. 2. metoda opisuje postopek, ki se uporablja za ocenjevanje ustreznosti ublažitve udarca ob nameščeno podlogo v povezavi z igralno opremo, kot je nameščena (glej točko 5.2).
OPOMBA: 2. metoda se tudi uporablja kot območje udarca ob zunanjo opremo za telesno vadbo (EN 16630) in drugo opremo, ki se nanaša na ta standard.

¶ 1 000 has been used in Europe since 1998 and the EN committee considers that at present, there is insufficient evidence of net overall value to playground users to support a change. It has therefore chosen to retain the value HIC
¶ 1 000 and to provide a second threshold of 200g as the criteria of acceptability in this standard, whilst continuing to monitor research publications on this subject. The same has been decided by ASTM for the time being.

« u dB lower limiting frequency should be less than or equal to 0,3 Hz to reduce the errors resulting from signal droop, which is most obviously visible in the form of baseline overshoot after the impact. Signal droop also results in underestimation of gmax and as a result HIC, particularly for longer pulse durations. Piezoelectric accelerometers with a time constant of 2 s or greater and appropriate signal conditioning will generally meet this requirement. Other accelerometers are not affected. SIST EN 1177:2018
« u dB upper frequency response of the accelerometer and its signal conditioning system is at a frequency greater than one-quarter of the sampling frequency, an anti-aliasing filter with an attenuation of at least 30 dB at half the sampling rate shall be employed. 4.2.8.4 Program for calculating the HIC value for the recorded acceleration time history of each impact, in accordance with Clause 5. 4.3 Accuracy of apparatus 4.3.1 Calibration by a laboratory 4.3.1.1 The apparatus shall be calibrated periodically, by a laboratory in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025. 4.3.1.2 All parts of the acceleration measurement system including accelerometers and electronic part (analogue and numerical) shall be calibrated for the whole frequency range from 20 Hz to 1 000 Hz. Recalibration shall be carried out at time intervals recommended by the manufacturer of the accelerometer or at least every two years. Calibrations shall be documented (e.g. by calibration certificates) and uncertainties shall be indicated. The uncertainty of the calibration of accelerometers shall not be greater than 5 %. 4.3.1.3 Velocity measurement systems as well as algorithms for calculating the fall height shall be calibrated for the whole velocity range (up to 3.5 m drop height). For free falling headforms the calculated fall height shall be compared with the physically measured effective fall height. In all cases, the effective Free Height of Fall (FHF) shall be measured with an uncertainty of not more than ±1 %. 4.3.1.4 The computer algorithm used for the calculation of HIC shall be checked, e.g. by imposing a half-sine curve and the result, when compared with an independent mathematical calculation of this curve, shall not deviate by more than ±1 %. NOTE An example for verification is given in Annex C. 4.3.2 Checks by operators 4.3.2.1 Operators shall verify the correct function of the apparatus they use at appropriate interval (depending on the frequency and type of use of the apparatus). The results of any checks shall be recorded during the life time of the apparatus (e.g. by using a monitoring log). The tests given in 4.3.2.2 and 4.3.2.3 are for checking any deviations or anomalies in the components and neither replaces calibration nor the validation for compliance of the apparatus with this European Standard. NOTE An example of a regime for checking the correct function of the apparatus is described in Annex F. SIST EN 1177:2018
