28、Maximum equipment height and complexity will not exceed a childs ability in that age group.1.2.2 Composite StructureAlso “Composite Play Structure; Linked Structure“. Two or more play events attached, directly adjacent or functionally linked, to create one integral unit that provides more than one p
29、lay activity.SECTION 11 68 13 Page 6Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-1.2.3 Designated Play SurfaceAny elevated surface for standing, walking, sitting, or climbing; or a flat surface a minimum 50 mm 2 inches wide having up to a maximum
30、30 degree angle from horizontal. In some play events the platform surface will be the same as the designated play surface. However, the terms should not be interchanged as they do not define the same point of measurement in accordance with ASTM F 1487.1.2.4 GuardrailA device around an elevated surfa
31、ce that prevents inadvertent falls from the elevated surface.1.2.5 Maximum Equipment HeightThe highest point on the equipment (i.e., roof ridge, top of support pole).1.2.6 Play EventA piece of manufactured playground equipment that supports one or more play activities.1.2.7 Protective BarrierAn encl

37、E: Specify playground equipment in accordance with ASTM F 1487.Playground Areas Other Than Child Development Centers (CDC): UFC 3-210-04, Childrens Outdoor Play Areas, provides guidance for the age groups defined in paragraph AGE GROUPS concerning design of outdoor play areas for children. The manua
38、l describes the differences between unsupervised play areas such as family housing areas and supervised play areas such as child development centers. Site selection and analysis; user needs analysis; play area committee; age group criteria; play activities; play area relationships; child safety requ
39、irements; playground equipment; protective surfacing; and exterior plant materials are discussed in terms for designing a playground layout.Child Development Centers (CDC): The CDC outdoor play area requirements are defined in the DA Standard Design Package for Child Development Centers and TI 800-0
40、1 Design Criteria, Appendix G, Child Development Centers. The CDC accommodate the age groups as defined in paragraph AGE GROUPS. UFC 4-740-14 discusses inspection frequency and preventative maintenance requirements to assist with selection of playground equipment.Use Zones (Clear Area or Fall Zones)
41、: Play event use zone perimeters are measured in accordance with the requirements of paragraph CHILD SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS and paragraph FALL HEIGHT.*Provide play events that meet the child safety performance requirements described in CPSC Pub No 325 and ASTM F 1487. The requirements in
42、clude the following: Head and neck entrapment; sharp points, edges, and protrusions; entanglement; pinch, crush, and shear points; suspended hazards; play event access and egress points; play event use zone perimeter; and design criteria. Since ASTM F 1487 criteria is defined for the minimum user th
43、rough the maximum user (2 through 12 years of age), the requirements for the infant or pre-toddler age group are not prescribed. This specification and Section 32 18 16.13 PLAYGROUND PROTECTIVE SURFACING establish the requirements for the infant and pre-toddler age groups.1.3.2 Child Accessibility*S
