1
Loading
300-lbs, 2 hours
This test simulates the short - term use of
home gym equipment.
2
Flammability
UL94 Test – Rating HBF
3
Cleanability
Must pass standard testing for product
cleanability. Foot traffic must be able to be
wiped away with water & household
solvent.
4
Cold Flexibility
(-20 degrees F for 24 hours) product must not break
off and become jagged and sharp in its frozen state,
potentially causing injury at specified temperatures.
This test simulates the freezing of floor
mat material left in the elements as a
potential injury hazard.
5
Elevated
Temperature
160 degrees/24 hrs.
Product must not succumb to the elements at
specified temperatures. No signs of breakdown or
liquification of materials are allowed.
This test simulates the heating of floor
mat material left in the elements (a
vehicle/storage container).
6
Heavy Metals
ASTM F963
No trace levels of lead content are permitted.
Test used is for lead content in Plastics.
7
Compression
50% at 1 hour (28.9 lbs.)
50% at 24 hours (28.9 lbs.) Weight of chair or a table
is used to simulate a (4) point contact atypical of
furniture or exercise equipment. Product must retain
original shape and texture at the conclusion of
specified time limits.
Testing is to validate short term exposure
of furniture, exercise equipment, etc.
8
Color Fastness
25 lb. Weight is wrapped in clean clothing articles
typically worn by children. Test clothing is agitated to
simulate typical child movement during activity.
No transfer of color allowed.
9
Impact
Attenuation
ASTM F1292
No references to advertising or claims inferring use in
support of children’s outdoor play areas.
Product testing for outdoor play areas
requires extensive product requirements
10
Child Safety
ASTM 963-96a
Title16 CFR part 1500.50
Standard Safety Protection for Children’s products.
Standard testing used by manufacturer’s
of children’s/toy products.
11
Phthalates
For Toys and Child Care Articles
Tested to be free of phthalates.
12
EVA Raw
Materials
Raw material composition specification as follows:
Material Make-up:
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer
Low Density Polyethylene
CaCO3
Blowing Agent
Zinc Oxide
60% of PE powder is recycled –
preventing material from becoming too
soft. No foam mat burs or waste chips are
permissible as a substitute. This creates
an inferior quality product which is often
accompanied by odor.
13
Formamide
(testing by TUV
Rhineland®
using ISO
16000
Standards)
Formamide is NOT permitted as a raw material
additive. Current specification is less than 10ppm and
is below harmful levels. (ACGIH TWA 10 ppm)
The American Conference of Governmental IndustrialHygienists
(ACGIH) sets the TLVs to help evaluate workplace health hazards.
Types of TLVs for Chemicals in the Air TLV － TWA (Threshold
Limit Value-Time Weighted Average)
Trace element testing for Formamide
content potentially created as a result of
the manufacturing process is to be tested
for on a regular basis by the factory and
randomly tested from the shelf as required
by major retailers.
14
Odor
Requirements
Product must be tested for odor. No odors atypical of
Inferior products/processes are acceptable.
Inferior EVA Foam products have a
distinct odor that is readily detectable.
