Certified Playground Chips are a type of wood chip commonly used as a safety surface material in playgrounds and other recreational areas. These chips are certified to meet specific safety standards set by organizations such as the ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) and the International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA).
These standards ensure that the wood chips are of a suitable size, shape, and consistency to provide effective impact attenuation, reducing the risk of injury from falls. Certified Playground Chips are often made from hardwood or softwood trees and are typically free from harmful chemicals or contaminants. They provide a cushioning effect, helping to absorb the impact of falls and create a safer play environment for children. Additionally, they are designed to be durable and long-lasting, with proper maintenance ensuring their effectiveness over time.
