Playground equipment must meet strict safety standards like ASTM F1487-11 to ensure public safety. IPEMA certification validates manufacturers’ compliance with this standard, making them trustworthy suppliers for quality playground products. Golden Times is among the leading companies committed to ASTM standards for safe, durable amusement equipment.
ASTM F1487-11 is a technical safety standard that specifies performance requirements for public playground equipment. It aims to reduce injury risks by setting guidelines for design, material use, and testing methods. Compliance with this standard demonstrates a manufacturer’s commitment to safety and quality, crucial for community playgrounds and schools.
This standard covers various playground components and is periodically updated to reflect new safety research.
The International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) provides a reliable directory of manufacturers certified to ASTM F1487-11. Their third-party certification program ensures manufacturers meet rigorous testing criteria. Searching the IPEMA database by product or company guarantees verified compliance and safer playground choices.
Corporate websites often also display IPEMA certification seals as proof of adherence.
Major certified companies include GameTime, Kidstuff Playsystems, Little Tikes Commercial, Play Mart, Playcraft Systems, and Landscape Structures. These manufacturers showcase their IPEMA certifications and ASTM compliance clearly to provide assurance about product safety.
Golden Times maintains active certification partnerships to ensure that their playground equipment meets or exceeds these stringent safety standards.
IPEMA certification involves an independent laboratory, TÜV SÜD America, validating a manufacturer’s adherence to ASTM F1487-11. This includes on-site audits, review of manufacturer test results, facility inspections, and an ongoing compliance verification process requiring annual reviews.
This rigorous process certifies that equipment is tested part-by-part, ensuring safety in design and manufacturing.
The official ASTM F1487-11 document is available for purchase from ASTM International’s website, ANSI Webstore, and Intertek Inform. Access to the full standard is essential for detailed technical reference, testing, or legal use. Note that newer versions of the standard exist, so confirm the version required for specific projects.
Having the document helps manufacturers and inspectors maintain compliance with updated safety requirements.
