ASTM F2774-09 (R2020) PDF Download

Guidelines for guaranteeing the quality control of consumer trampoline bed material (CTM) are provided by the ASTM F2774-09 (R2020) standard. The standard specifies the kinds of tests that must be performed, their procedures, and the minimal frequencies at which they must be carried out.

To achieve a minimal degree of quality control, manufacturers are required to follow internal testing protocols for the finished product. In the manufacturer's quality control plan and report, the standard recommends particular tests and test methodologies.

It is crucial to remember that manufacturers may decide to carry out more tests or test more frequently than what is required by the standard. The manufacturer's quality control strategy is given precedence in certain circumstances. In a similar vein, buyers and installers of CTM could have extra specifications that go beyond the norm, and these specifications should be made clear to the manufacturer or supplier during the contract discussions.

Additionally, the procedure offers a way to choose statistically reliable samples of CTM without being aware of potential manufacturing unit variations beforehand. The authors of the test methods can create sample statements by applying the guidelines in Practice D4271.
