INITIAL VALIDATION PROCEDURES. 4.2.1 Validator will schedule and execute an official inspection at the main office of the Participant, provided the Participant has signed the License Application and Agreement with XXXXX. Inspections are performed once per fiscal year by the Validator, and usually take from one to two days, including allowance for travel time. Inspections will be scheduled and performed in accordance with the detailed procedure outlined in Section 4.4, using the inspection form (see form XXXXX 04s), with a countersigned copy left with the Participant. Any deficiencies noted during the inspection must be addressed satisfactorily, prior to Participant approval. 4.2.1.1 See Addendum 2 for additional requirements specific to Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF); Addendum 3 for additional requirements specific to Field Manufactured Unitary, e.g.: Poured in Place (PIP); and Addendum 4 for additional requirements specific to Loose Fill Rubber (LFR). 4.2.1.2 The Participant may submit complete test results from an A2LA accredited, or equivalent, lab to ISO Guide 17025 for all product models intended for certification to F1292, along with a copy of that lab’s Scope of Accreditation reflecting the Standard(s) outlined in this Procedural Guide. The lab MUST BE A2LA accredited, or equivalent, for testing to ASTM F1292, 3351, 2075, and 3012. Those Participants testing to ASTM F3313 may not utilize the services of a lab other than XXXXX’x Validator. (Submitted test reports are still subject to approval by the XXXXX Surfacing Certification Validator, regardless of test labs’ accreditation.) Tests shall have been performed to the current Standard(s), and shall be no more than one (1) year old. Manufacturing location(s), process(es), specification(s), or material(s) shall not have changed. Documentation to verify this information must be provided to the Validator. Participants manufacturing unitary products must provide a detailed materials listing of all components used to produce the unitary product samples being tested. 4.2.2 For validation of unitary type products to either F1292 or F3351 (with the exception of Poured- In-Place products, which are addressed in Addendum 3), the location of the least favorable impact attenuation properties must be determined per ASTM F1292, (Section 11.1.

4.2.2 For 4.2.2.3 Before validation of unitary type products to either F1292 or F3351 (with the exception of Poured- In-Place products, which are addressed in Addendum 3)can be attained, the location of the least favorable impact attenuation properties must be determined per ASTM F1292, (Section 11.1.
1.1). Testing will be performed at a minimum of three (3) impact locations expected to show the least favorable impact attenuation properties. Additional impact locations may be required as ascertained by the Validator or Validator‐approved lab, as necessary. Participants must submit appropriate sample quantity to allow for testing at locations that must include center, uneven thickness, seams, fasteners, anchoring devices, interlock design, or other components expected to show the least favorable attenuation properties. This includes underlayment components, as well, such as foam panels or aggregates which may affect the impact attenuation properties of the system. Detailed product installation instructions are required with sample submittals. Three (3) drops will be performed at each location at ambient temperature only and at one (1) drop height as specified by the Participant. Subsequent to the above, drops will be performed at the determined least favorable impact location, at the remaining standard reference temperatures, at one (1) drop height as specified by the Participant.

Participants must submit appropriate sample quantity to allow for testing at locations that must include center, uneven thickness, seams, fasteners, anchoring devices, interlock design, or other components expected to show the least favorable or aggregates which may affect the impact attenuation properties of the system. Detailed product installation instructions are required with sample submittals. Three (3) drops will be performed at each location at ambient temperature only and at one (1) drop height as specified by the Participant. Subsequent to the above, drops will be performed at the determined least favorable impact location, at the remaining standard reference temperatures, at one (1) drop height as specified by the Participant.
4.2.3 During initial main office inspection, if testing documentation has not been provided and approved per Section 4.2.2, Validator will select samples of products intended for certification from production or inventory, wherever the product(s) may be located, for laboratory testing to applicable Standard(s).
4.2.4 When manufacturing locations differ from the main office location and are used by the Participant, a listing of those locations must be provided that includes: supplier ID number (provided by the participating company), product type manufactured, manufacturer name, physical address of manufacturing location, telephone/fax numbers and the name and email (if available) of key contact(s).
4.2.4.1 Test results for each product manufactured at each location must be provided to the Validator.
4.2.4.2 If test results are not available, a sample of each product(s) manufactured at each location must be submitted for testing per 4.
4.2.4.3 Validator will maintain a listing of manufacturing locations that are approved by the Validator to provide Participant’s certified product(s).
4.2.5 Upon facility approval and product validation, Validator notifies XXXXX Administrator. Administrator provides Participant with approval to login to the website interface. Participant adds products electronically through this interface and uploads completed test reports dated within the past calendar year. By completing this process, the Participant declares that any samples of a given Playground Surfacing Product shall be representative of product initially tested and produced during normal production, and offered for sale. Electronic submittals must be accurately detailed to distinguish differences in structure and materials that have a potential to affect performance. At a minimum, the description shall include the depth of each component layer, (i.e.: Base layer, aggregate type/depth, foam/shock pad thickness, turf system pile height, infill description & amounts). • For surfaces incorporating loose fill materials the description shall include the type and approximate size, and depth of particulate materials (for example, sand, gravel, rubber buffings, nuggets, rubber crumb, wood chips, or bark mulch) in each layer. • For unitary surfaces and/or systems, the sample description shall include the designation of each component and thickness of each layer. • When a multi-surfacing system (one that includes both unitary and loose fill surfaces as one system) is submitted, the description must include each component used and the thickness and/or depth of each layer.
4.2.6 Electronic submittals will be processed within 30 days of receipt and posted to the website listing if validated.
