Playground surface impact testing
At Bugaboo Designs, we deliver professional playground surface impact testing using advanced TRIAX TOUCH E-Missile devices that meet strict global standards, including ASTM F1292 (American) and EN 1177 (European), to precisely measure shock (G) and head injury criteria (HIC) values. Our certified team, recognized by the Canadian Playground Advisor, ensures that testing aligns with both CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and ASTM standards, delivering precise safety assessments for playground surfaces.
We specialize in testing engineered wood fiber (EWF) and poured-in-place rubber surfaces, adhering to CSA standards, which require annual impact testing to protect children and the public. Our impact testing services are often combined with annual playground inspections, helping clients maintain compliance and ensure safety. ASTM F1292 is a cornerstone of the CSA Z614 safety protocol, outlining the critical performance criteria for playground surfaces.
Regular playground surface testing not only reduces liability but also ensures peace of mind. Many clients choose our annual drop testing services as part of routine playground inspections, while we also recommend third-party testing before final payments on new playground surfaces and prior to warranty expiration. These proactive measures protect your investment, ensuring that it meets the highest quality and safety standards for long-term reliability.
