At Acousto-Scan, our team includes field engineers with many years of real-world experience delivering accurate field site testing in India.

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.
