ASTM F2075

Engineered Wood Fiber for Use as a Playground Safety Surface

Applicability: ASTM F2075 is a standard specification that covers the use of engineered wood fiber as a playground safety surface. It sets requirements for particle size, consistency, purity, drainage, and hazardous metal concentrations in the wood fiber. The standard aims to ensure the safety of children using playgrounds by minimizing risks associated with these factors.

Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to determine if the engineered wood fiber is adequate to comply with the particle size distribution in order for it to be used for its intended use. This specification covers engineered wood fiber for use as a playground safety surface under and around playground equipment. This specification establishes minimum requirements for the factors that determine particle size, consistency, purity, ability to drain, and heavy metal concentrations considered hazardous to children.
