This Malaysian Standard covers standards for selecting and specifying surface systems under and around playground equipment. This standard describes how to apply relevant standards to evaluate the impact attenuation, accessibility characteristics and product characteristics when selecting surfacing systems for use under and around playground equipment. This standard does not imply that an injury cannot be incurred when the surface system complies with standards referred to in this guide. The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
