Standard Specification for Loose-Fill Rubber for Use as a Playground Safety Surface under and around Playground Equipment
Also Known As:
For loose-fill rubber used as a safety surface underneath and around playground equipment, the ASTM F3012-14 standard specifies test procedures and performance standards. This standard is intended to serve as a guide for playground designers, specifiers, owners, and suppliers of playground surfacing for assessing loose-fill rubber materials for playground use.
For a variety of characteristics of the loose-fill rubber, including particle size distribution, extractable hazardous metal content, total lead content, tramp metal content, and sharp tramp metal content, the standard offers test procedures and performance requirements. However, it does not address the loose-fill rubber playground surfacing's accessibility or the rubber's potential to leak organic pollutants.
The specification specifies that Specification F1292, which addresses the impact attenuation performance criteria for playground surface materials, must be complied with if the loose-fill rubber is to be laid in the usage zone of playground equipment.
