Surface Performance & Inspection Coordination
CPSI inspection, F3313 impact testing and accessibility review coordinated through qualified providers — not performed or certified in-house.
Surface Performance & Inspection Coordination
Surface performance and inspection scopes — certified playground safety inspections, ASTM F3313 field impact testing, and accessibility reviews — are separate from maintenance and documentation. SynTurf Care coordinates these scopes through qualified, independent providers when they are warranted.
CPSI (Certified Playground Safety Inspector) competency inside the operation strengthens condition reporting — but it does not turn a maintenance report into an ASTM impact test or a certified inspection.
We keep a clear separation: SynTurf Care provides maintenance and condition documentation; certified inspections, accessibility determinations and ASTM impact testing are performed by appropriately qualified personnel and providers.
- Identify when qualified inspection or testing is warranted
- Coordinate certified playground safety inspections (CPSI) through qualified providers
- Coordinate ASTM F3313 field impact testing through qualified testing providers
- Coordinate accessibility reviews through appropriately qualified personnel
- File the resulting reports in the Playground Surface Passport
- CPSI-informed condition reporting that supports — but does not replace — certified scopes
- Clear separation between maintenance documentation and certified scopes
How SynTurf Care Approaches This
A documented, surface-aware process — not a one-size-fits-all cleaning routine.
01
Identify the need
SynTurf identifies when qualified inspection or testing is warranted by owner request, manufacturer guidance, specs, inspection findings or the maintenance program.
02
Coordinate the provider
Engage independent qualified providers for CPSI inspection, F3313 impact testing or accessibility review as required.
03
File the reports
The resulting reports are filed in the Playground Surface Passport alongside the surface record.
04
Plan next steps
Use the results to inform maintenance, repair, capital planning and any required corrections.
What This Program Is Designed to Deliver
Every playground program is built around credible, defensible outcomes — maintenance and documentation first, with qualified inspection and impact-testing coordination kept as separate scopes.
- We coordinate — we do not perform ASTM F1292 or F3313 testing in-house.
- Certified playground inspections, accessibility determinations and ASTM impact testing are separate scopes.
- CPSI competency strengthens reporting — it does not turn a maintenance report into an impact test.
- ASTM F3313-26 evaluates installed field performance; it does not establish the critical height of an installed system.
- SynTurf Care does not perform ASTM F1292 or F3313 impact testing in-house.
- SynTurf Care does not certify playground safety, accessibility compliance or impact performance.
- Coordination depends on the availability of qualified independent providers in the region.
- A coordinated inspection or test is a separate scope from maintenance and is quoted accordingly.
- When an owner, manufacturer, specification or inspection finding requires certified testing
- When a Texas childcare Licensing request involves impact-rating documentation
- When a surface may have lost performance after flooding, submersion or substantial damage
- When a facility needs a certified inspection or accessibility review for capital planning
Surface Performance & Inspection Coordination — Questions
Credible answers about this playground surface program, the maintenance/documentation scope, and what stays a separate qualified scope.
No. We coordinate installed surface performance testing with qualified testing providers when required. We do not perform ASTM F1292 or F3313 testing in-house. Certified playground inspections, accessibility determinations and ASTM impact testing are separate scopes performed by appropriately qualified personnel and providers.
