F08.17 - Trampolines and Related Equipment

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 CTM must be properly manufactured in a manner consistent with a minimum level of quality control as determined by in-house testing of the final product. This practice suggest types of tests, the methods of the testing and the minimum testing frequencies.  
4.2 It should be clearly recognized that manufacturers may perform additional tests or at a greater frequency than required in this practice, or both. In this case the manufacturer’s quality control plan will take precedence over this practice. The quoted tests and test methods in Table 1 must appear in the QC plan and QC report.  
4.3 It should also be recognized that purchasers and installers of CTM may require additional tests or a greater frequency than called for in this practice or both. The organization(s) producing such project specific specification or quality assurance plan should recognize that such requirements are beyond the current state of the practice. If such a request is made by the purchasers or installers, they should clearly communicate the requirements to the manufacturer or supplier during the contract decisions in order that disputes do not arise at a subsequent time.  
4.4 This practice provides a means by which samples of CTM may be selected to provide a statistically valid sample for selection of test specimens without previous knowledge of the variability that may exist between production units.  
4.5 The principles stated in Practice D4271, and the illustrative text in that practice can be used by the test method authors in preparing sampling statements.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the manufacturing quality control of Consumer Trampoline-Bed Material (CTM), describing types of tests, the proper test methods, minimum testing frequencies, and best practices for sampling.  
1.2 This practice is intended to aid manufacturers, suppliers, purchasers, installers, and end users of CTM in establishing a minimum level of effort for maintaining quality control.  
1.3 This practice does not address manufacturing quality assurance, product acceptance testing, or conformance testing. These are independent activities taken by organizations other than the CTM manufacturer.  
1.4 This practice covers procedures for sampling CTM for the purpose of manufacturing quality control (MQC). These procedures are designed to ensure the correct number of representative samples are obtained and properly reported by the manufacturer.  
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.6 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.  
1.7 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.

ABSTRACT
This safety specification covers the components, the assembly, and the use of consumer trampolines. This specification is intended to reduce the demonstrated hazards associated with the use of trampolines by consumers in home environments. It is not intended to apply to institutional trampolines. Trampolines that adhere to this specification are not recommended for use by children under six years of age. When a trampoline is offered for sale, it shall include a frame, a bed, a suspension system, frame padding, information packet and suitable markings. A trampoline ladder shall not be included as a component part or within the same packaging. Roller stands shall be included for portable trampolines. Shock attenuation test shall be performed on the frame padding. However, a drop test shall be performed for trampolines without frame padding. Drop test shall be performed on the frame padding, while a survivability drop test shall be performed on the edge system if other than a frame padding. Padding attachment system test shall be performed to determine padding retention.
SCOPE
1.1 This safety specification covers the components, the assembly, and the use of consumer trampolines.
1.2 This specification is delimited in its application to trampolines of (1) a minimum bed size of 3300 in.2  (21 300 cm2), (2) a minimum height of 20 in. (51 cm), (3) intended for the purpose of continuous, vertical jumping activities and (4) intended for consumer use.
1.3 This specification is intended (1) to reduce the demonstrated hazards associated with the use of trampolines by consumers; (2) for trampolines used in a home environment by a single user; and (3) not to apply to institutional trampolines or trampolines intended for use on water. Trampolines that adhere to this specification are not recommended for use by children under six years of age.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the hazards associated with trampolines. The standard's existence alone will not necessarily prevent injuries. Like other physical activities, trampoline use involves the risk of injury, particularly if the equipment is used improperly.

1.7 This specification includes the following sections and selected subsections.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
CTM must be properly manufactured in a manner consistent with a minimum level of quality control as determined by in-house testing of the final product. This practice suggest types of tests, the methods of the testing and the minimum testing frequencies.
It should be clearly recognized that manufacturers may perform additional tests or at a greater frequency than required in this practice, or both. In this case the manufacturer’s quality control plan will take precedence over this practice. The quoted tests and test methods in Table 1 must appear in the QC plan and QC report.
It should also be recognized that purchasers and installers of CTM may require additional tests or a greater frequency than called for in this practice or both. The organization(s) producing such project specific specification or quality assurance plan should recognize that such requirements are beyond the current state of the practice. If such a request is made by the purchasers or installers, they should clearly communicate the requirements to the manufacturer or supplier during the contract decisions in order that disputes do not arise at a subsequent time.
This practice provides a means by which samples of CTM may be selected to provide a statistically valid sample for selection of test specimens without previous knowledge of the variability that may exist between production units.
The principles stated in Practice D4271, and the illustrative text in that practice can be used by the test method authors in preparing sampling statements.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the manufacturing quality control of Consumer Trampoline-Bed Material (CTM), describing types of tests, the proper test methods, minimum testing frequencies, and best practices for sampling.
1.2 This practice is intended to aid manufacturers, suppliers, purchasers, installers, and end users of CTM in establishing a minimum level of effort for maintaining quality control.
1.3 This practice does not address manufacturing quality assurance, product acceptance testing, or conformance testing. These are independent activities taken by organizations other than the CTM manufacturer.
1.4 This practice covers procedures for sampling CTM for the purpose of manufacturing quality control (MQC). These procedures are designed to ensure the correct number of representative samples are obtained and properly reported by the manufacturer.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.6 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
