Certified for Safety:
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
✅ Valid Certificates
A valid Playsafe certificate confirms that the surface has been tested and complies with NZS 5828:2015, with a verified CFH rating. Certification includes the test date and performance data specific to the product.
📅 Certification Duration
All certifications are valid for three years from the date of testing, in line with international safety standards including NZS 5828, SANS 51176, EN 1176, and EN 1177.
⛔ Expired Certificates
Once expired, certifications are no longer valid for compliance purposes. We recommend re-testing to maintain product credibility and ensure continued safety.
🔁 Surface Performance Over Time
Please note that critical fall height performance may degrade and reduce over time, especially in synthetic surfacing. For best practice, we recommend ongoing 2-yearly maintenance surface testing.
