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.

Frequently Asked Questions

CEN/TC 136/SC 1/WG 1 is a Subcommittee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Surfacing" and is responsible for: Developing and checking requirements and test methods relating to playground surfacing. This committee has published 3 standards.

CEN/TC 136/SC 1/WG 1 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Developing and checking requirements and test methods relating to playground surfacing. Currently, there are 3 published standards from this subcommittee.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
