This European Standard specifies a method for determining the impact attenuation of playground surfacing. It defines a “Critical Fall Height" (see 3.2) for surfacing, which represents the upper limit of its effectiveness in reducing head injury when using playground equipment conforming to EN 1176. The test methods described in the European Standard are applicable for tests carried out in a laboratory and for tests on site.
