Since our inception, Acousto-Scan Pty Ltd has been a recognised authority in laboratory precision and on-site field testing of playground and synthetic sport surfaces. As a NATA ILAC ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, our work covers playground surfacing, critical fall height assessment, and international sport-surface programmes. As a leader in sports surface and playground surface testing in Colombia, we never compromise on the accuracy of test results we deliver. We combine scientific accuracy with years of hands-on field experience, helping communities, sporting bodies, and surface manufacturers meet strict safety and performance standards.

Our expertise spans across football, hockey, tennis, rugby, athletics, playgrounds, and more, where we deliver solutions ranging from field site testing in Colombia to complete certification programmes for global sporting organisations. Clients trust our independent reports and certifications as reliable proof of compliance with international and national standards.

Global Accreditations and Technical Memberships Supporting Playground and Surface Product Testing in Colombia

Acousto-Scan is proud to hold a wide range of global accreditations. Our ISO/IEC 17025 scope conforms to AS/NZS 4422 (Playground Surfacing). We are an accredited Field Test Institute for FIFA, FIH, ITF, AFL/CA, FIBA, and World Rugby. This recognition means our playground and surface product testing in Colombia follows the same high standards required in Europe, Australia, Asia, and beyond.

In tennis, we are accredited for ITF One-Star testing, which measures installation quality and fundamental performance. For AFL and Cricket Australia, we conduct both laboratory and field testing on synthetic surfaces. Our team also includes RoPIA3 certified playground inspectors and members of the International Association for Sport Surface Sciences (ISSS).

Since 2003, we have actively contributed to global committees, helping draft technical standards such as the FIFA Quality Concept, World Rugby Regulation 22 requirements, FIH specifications, and Australian Standards CS-101 (Sport) and CS-005 (Playgrounds).

All-Inclusive Playground Surfacing Testing and Advanced Critical Fall Height Testing in Colombia

Playground safety is central to our mission. As an accredited laboratory, we specialise in playground surfacing testing in Colombia to verify compliance with AS/NZS 4422. Whether unitary surfacing or loose-fill materials like bark mulch and sand, our testing confirms whether products achieve their rated fall protection.

Our critical fall height testing in Colombia determines if playground surfaces reduce impact energy effectively. For example, if a product is rated at 2.5 metres, we measure whether it protects children falling from heights below that mark. Using calibrated tri-axial accelerometers, ISO headforms, and free-fall systems, we produce reliable data that guides safety decisions.

Testing is recommended at least every three years to maintain compliance and keep play areas safe.

Flawless Impact Attenuation Testing and Synthetic Sports Surface Testing in Colombia Across Major Disciplines

Sporting performance depends on surfaces that protect athletes and optimise play. Acousto-Scan delivers accredited impact attenuation testing in Colombia and synthetic sports surface testing in Colombia to international standards.

• Football (FIFA):With the status of an accredited FIFA Field Test Institute, we certify pitches worldwide in line with the FIFA Quality Program and Field Testing Manual. Our FIFA field certification in Colombia ensures pitches meet durability, safety, and playability standards.
• Hockey (FIH):We verify installations through hockey turf testing in Colombia, assessing ball behaviour, player comfort, and pitch geometry. Certification ensures the product matches FIH-approved specifications.
• Tennis (ITF):Through tennis court surface testing in Colombia, we evaluate installation quality for ITF One-Star recognition.
• World Rugby:Our team conducts World Rugby field testing in Colombia, ensuring compliance with Regulation 22 for surface performance and player safety.
• Athletics:Using advanced metrics, we provide athletics track surface testing in Colombia, focusing on shock absorption, evenness, and performance standards for running tracks.

Additionally, we assist in AFL and Cricket Australia projects, ensuring surfaces meet unique requirements such as CFH of 1.3 metres for player safety during impact-heavy play.

Equipment Innovation, Slip Testing in Colombia, And Specialist Training Programmes

Beyond testing, Acousto-Scan supplies and supports leading technology for field operators. We sell Wireless Value PLATINUM free-fall head systems, eliminating cables during drops and streamlining fieldwork.

Our slip testing in Colombia adds another layer of assurance by measuring traction and reducing the risk of injury on synthetic and recreational surfaces. We also provide structured training programmes, equipping operators with the skills to assemble, operate, and report results using accredited equipment. Competency training ensures that even non-NATA laboratories can perform reliable field tests when led by trained professionals.

Sports Field Aerial Photography in Colombia and Complete Reporting Services

Accurate reporting is only one part of our service; we also deliver compelling visuals. As CASA-certified operators (RePL and ReOC), our drone team captures high-resolution sports field aerial photography in Colombia. After FIFA or other on-site tests, we provide clients with images showcasing installations and their surrounding environment, often taken at altitudes up to 120 metres.

Laboratory and field reports are aligned with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and contain all necessary measurements and statements. These documents serve as verifiable proof of compliance for councils, manufacturers, and international bodies.
