Every common play and impact surface.
EN 1177 testing applies to playground surfacing and to impact areas around outdoor fitness and parkour equipment. We test the full range, whether installed on site or supplied as a sample.
Wet-pour rubber (EPDM)
Seamless rubber systems — critical fall height depends on the base and wear-course thickness, which we verify as installed.
Rubber tiles & mats
Interlocking safety tiles and grass-protection mats, tested in place or as supplied samples.
Bonded & loose rubber mulch
Bonded mulch systems and loose rubber fill, where depth and compaction govern performance.
Loose fill — bark, wood chips
Organic loose fill where depth, settlement and migration strongly affect the rating over time.
Sand & gravel
Traditional loose-fill materials, tested for as-laid depth and condition.
Grass, reinforced grass & turf
Natural and reinforced grass, and synthetic turf with shockpad systems used in play and fitness areas.
