Without trusted testing, neither safe play nor sports performance last. Acousto-Scan Pty Ltd is an accredited testing laboratory and field test institute dedicated to playground surfacing and synthetic sports surfaces. We operate as a NATA ILAC ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, with scope covering AS/NZS 4422 standards for playground surfacing and a wide range of international sport-surface programmes. We are a renowned playground and sports surface testing in India. Our role is not only restricted to laboratory work. At Acousto-Scan, our team includes field engineers with many years of real-world experience delivering accurate field site testing in India.

With global recognition and strong technical leadership since 2003, we are committed to ensuring surfaces for play, training, and competition meet both safety requirements and performance standards. From early-stage product checks to international field certifications, our work supports communities, clubs, and organisations worldwide.

End-To-End Playground Surface, Impact Attenuation, and Critical Fall Height Testing in India for Safety and Durability

Playground surfacing requires specialised assessment, and our expertise ensures compliance with AS/NZS 4422 and related safety standards. We carry out playground surfacing testing in India that measures impact attenuation and verifies the durability of both unitary and loose-fill materials, such as bark mulch and sand.

A key part of our service is critical fall height testing in India. This determines whether surfacing materials meet the intended safety rating—for example, a surface designed with a 2.5 m rating must demonstrate safe performance below that height. Using advanced drop systems, ISO headforms, and tri-axial accelerometers, we deliver precise impact attenuation testing in India. These tests are vital for operators, councils, and schools who need proof that playgrounds remain safe for children over years of use.

Global-Standard Synthetic Sports Surface Testing in India for Multiple Sporting Codes

Synthetic sports fields must meet the demands of athletes and international federations. Acousto-Scan performs synthetic sports surface testing in India to ensure surfaces meet both safety and playability requirements.
