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.

1 Modification to clause 3
In definition 3.9, replace the note to entry with the following:
“The number of drops and the drop heights of drop tests are specified separately in Method 1 and in
Method 2. Particularities exist for some specific types of surfacing material (e.g. for loose fil material the
four impacts measurement of the drop test are conduct in a different test position).”
2 Modification to 5.2.1
Change the beginning of the note to read as follows:
“NOTE Requirements for the adequate level of impact attenuation […].”
3 Addition of clause 5.3, “On site testing conditions”
Move the text in 6.3 to become a new clause 5.3.
“5.3 On site testing conditions
5.3.1 Testing shall only be carried out when the temperature of the surface is between 5 °C and 55 °C.
Temperature as well as all relevant climatic conditions existing throughout the test, e.g. humidity,
moisture, etc., shall be measured and recorded.
5.3.2 Testing shall not be carried out on surfaces that are saturated with water.
5.3.3 Tests shall not be conducted on a test zone if it is inclined at an angle of > 10° to the horizontal.
NOTE Guided systems will give invalid results on inclined surfaces and free falling head forms can experience
excessive rotation
