Compliance on a Global Scale

Industry standards set a minimum level that playground manufacturers must meet. We meet or exceed those standards, because we understand that the ultimate playground offers peace of mind as well as thrills. After all, we’re parents too.

ASTM International

We don’t just follow the rules; we help create them. Several key people at GameTime, including our Director of Compliance and Standards, serve on the ASTM committee that sets the standards for the entireplayground industry. GameTime products conform to that standard, ASTM F1487-11, the Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use.

CPSC

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is an independentagency within the United States Federal Government with the authority to inform the public of current product safety performance information and recommended practices. The CPSC first published their guidelines for public playgrounds in 1981and have updated their publication since then. The current CPSC Handbook for Public Playground Safety, publication #325, is an excellent guide for owners and operators of public play environments.
