Certified Surface Products:
Playground Surfaces You Can Trust
At Playsafe Ltd, we take playground safety seriously. That’s why we maintain a comprehensive register of certified playground surfacing products, all tested in accordance with NZS 5828:2015 / EN 1177 standards.
Our certification process ensures that each product meets the Head Impact Criterion (HIC) and is graded for Critical Fall Height (CFH)—especially important for loose-fill and synthetic surfacing systems.
Certification Overview
Playsafe surface product certifications are issued with a three-year validity period from the date of testing.
This is a Playsafe certification requirement intended to provide ongoing confidence that certified surfacing products remain representative of the product originally tested.
Surface performance can vary over time due to changes in materials, manufacturing, installation methods, ageing and environmental conditions. Re-testing is therefore required at the end of the Playsafe certification period to maintain current certification.
For installed playground surfaces, periodic in-situ impact testing may also be recommended to confirm that the surface continues to provide adequate impact attenuation for the equipment above it.
