We Have Extensive Experience in Playground Surfacing and Synthetic Sports Surface Testing in France
Safe surfaces for children and athletes do not happen by chance; they are verified through scientific testing, technical expertise, and strict compliance with international standards. Acousto-Scan Pty Ltd has built its reputation as a fully accredited laboratory and field test institute, specialising in playground surfacing and synthetic sports surfaces. With accreditation under NATA ILAC ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and a scope that aligns with AS/NZS 4422, we bring laboratory precision and real-world reliability to every project. From playground surfacing testing in France to synthetic sports surface testing in France, our team provides trusted results that ensure long-term safety and performance.
Worldwide Accreditations and Playground Surface Testing in France Backed by International Standards
We are not just a testing company; we are deeply involved in shaping international standards for sport and playground safety. Acousto-Scan is an accredited Field Test Institute for FIFA, FIH, ITF, AFL/CA, FIBA, and World Rugby, and our experts contribute actively to committees that write and maintain these standards. Our scope includes ITF One-Star recognition for tennis court surface testing in France, AFL/CA laboratory testing for Australian Football and Cricket Australia surfaces, and RoPIA3 Playground Inspector certification. As long-standing members of ISSS (International Association for Sport Surface Sciences), our technical leadership extends to global programmes, ensuring that playground and surface product testing in France meets the same benchmark as projects worldwide.
Field Site Testing in France and Worldwide Certification for Sports Performance and Safety
Our accredited engineers perform field site testing in France for a wide range of sports and recreational surfaces. This includes FIFA field certification in France, where we follow the FIFA Quality Programme and FIFA Field Testing Manual to validate football pitch performance. We also provide Hockey turf testing in France under the FIH Quality Programme, verifying aspects such as ball behaviour, player comfort, and field geometry. For rugby projects, we conduct World Rugby field testing in France to ensure compliance with Regulation 22, while athletics track surface testing in France focuses on shock absorption, evenness, and durability in line with international requirements.
Accurate Critical Fall Height Testing in France to Boost Safety
Children’s safety in playgrounds depends on surfaces that protect against falls. Acousto-Scan’s accredited scope specifically covers impact attenuation testing in France to AS4422 standards. We conduct both laboratory and on-site evaluations, including the testing of loose-fill materials such as bark mulch and sand. Critical fall height testing in France is carried out to determine whether a surfacing product meets its rated safety level, for example, ensuring that a 2.5 m CFH surface provides adequate protection. Testing frequencies, calibration standards, and specialised equipment — including ISO headforms and tri-axial accelerometers — are all applied with full compliance to AS/NZS 4422.
Advanced Impact Attenuation Testing and Slip Testing in France Using Calibrated Equipment
Accuracy in measurement is central to our work. Our impact attenuation testing in France uses advanced drop systems, timing gates, and accelerometers that meet ISO 6487 requirements. Every two years, equipment is calibrated by a NATA-recognised laboratory to maintain accuracy. Alongside this, slip testing in France allows us to assess traction, ensuring surfaces minimise injury risk while supporting performance. By combining these advanced measurements, our reports provide complete clarity on whether a surface meets the technical and safety thresholds demanded by national and international standards.
Training, Equipment Sales, And Operator Competence in France for AS4422 Compliance
Beyond testing, Acousto-Scan plays a major role in training competent operators. We supply impact attenuation field testing equipment such as the Wireless Value PLATINUM, which simplifies free-fall measurements by removing trailing cables. Field testing equipment must be recalibrated every two years, and while operators do not need to be a NATA laboratory, they must be properly trained. Our courses prepare operators in France to perform playground surfacing testing in France confidently, covering everything from equipment assembly to reporting. This ensures consistency, reliability, and compliance in field work.
Sports Field Aerial Photography in France for New Installations and Certifications
Acousto-Scan is CASA-certified for drone operations, holding both RePL and ReOC credentials. After completing FIFA field certification in France or other on-site tests, we often provide sports field aerial photography in France, capturing the completed installation from up to 120 metres altitude. These aerial images showcase not just the surface but also the surrounding environment, offering clients valuable documentation and a professional way to present their facility.
Why Leading Organisations Trust Us for Playground and Sports Surface Testing in France
What sets Acousto-Scan apart is the combination of independent accreditation, global recognition, and hands-on expertise. We are trusted by FIFA, FIH, ITF, AFL/CA, and World Rugby for synthetic sports surface testing in France and worldwide. Our role in shaping standards since 2003 means clients benefit from a partner who not only understands the requirements but has helped define them. Whether the task involves playground surfacing testing in France, tennis court surface testing in France, or athletics track surface testing in France, we provide reliable outcomes that protect players, children, and communities.
