25、signated 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 degree angle from horizontal. In some play events the platform surface will be the same as the designated play surface. However, the terms
26、should not be interchanged as they do not define the same point of measurement according to ASTM F 1487.1.2.3 Head Injury Criteria (HIC)A measure of impact severity that considers the duration over which the most critical section of the deceleration pulse persists as well as the peak level of that d
27、eceleration. Head impact injuries are not believed to be life threatening if the HIC does not exceed a value of 1,000.1.2.4 Impact AttenuationThe ability of protective surfacing to reduce and dissipate the energy of an impacting body.1.2.5 Loose FillConsisting of small independent movable components
28、 such as sand, gravel, or wood chip.

32、uirements of synthetic surfacing and loose-fill surfacing systems, installed in the use zones, as follows. The surfacing critical height value shall yield up to both a maximum 200 Gs peak deceleration, and a maximum 1,000 Head Injury Criteria (HIC) value for a head-first fall from the play event in
33、accordance with CPSC Pub No 325 and ASTM F 1292. The protective surfacing should have a minimum critical height value equal to the height of the highest designated play surface. Measuring fall heights for play events is defined in paragraph FALL HEIGHT. Sand, gravel, and wood products shall not be i

When children with disabilities are allowed to choose play events, they are more eager to learn the skills necessary to participa
36、te.*The accessibility requirement in accordance with ASTM F 1487 includes the following: When the play event use zone consists of a protective surfacing rated as unaccessible, at least one accessible route shall be provided from the use zone perimeter to the play event. When there is more than one o
37、f the same play activity provided, only one shall meet accessibility requirements (i.e.: one swing seat or one spring rocking play event). When the access and egress points are not the same for a play event, an accessible route shall be provided to both. The accessible route shall access all accessi
38、ble play events and elements. The protective surfacings that meet accessibility are synthetic surfacing and engineered wood fiber per ASTM E 1912. When the accessible surface is within the use zone, it shall meet the requirements of paragraph CHILD SAFETYSECTION 32 18 16.13 Page 7Provided by IHSNot

The design of the CDC outdoor play area shall be based on the devel

Developmental activities are selected which promote the intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth of the children. The develo
41、pmental play program is developed by the MACOM CDS Director, installation CDS Coordinator and CDC Director. They are responsible for the developmental play program, child safety and accessibility to meet that program.1.3.4 Sites Other than CDCThe technical representative for outdoor play areas on si
