What Is Gmax Testing?
Gmax testing measures a surface's ability to absorb shock and reduce the force of impact — protecting children and athletes from serious head injuries and fall-related harm.
Reduce Injury Risk
Identify surfaces that are dangerously hard and pose a fall hazard before an incident occurs on your site.
Meet Safety Standards
Compliance with ASTM F1292 and CSA Z614 reduces liability and demonstrates your duty of care.
Ongoing Monitoring
Surfaces degrade with weather and usage. Regular testing ensures continued safe performance year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gmax testing measures how well a playground or sports surface absorbs shock to reduce injury risk. A lower Gmax score indicates better impact attenuation. Surfaces must score below 200 Gmax to meet ASTM F1292 and CSA Z614 safety standards.
Municipalities, schools, park and recreation operators, sports facility managers, property managers, and contractors all benefit from Gmax testing. It is especially important for anyone responsible for maintaining playgrounds or sports surfaces open to the public.
We recommend annual Gmax testing at minimum. Surfaces degrade over time due to weathering, usage, and compaction — so a surface that passed last year may not pass this year. High-use facilities may benefit from more frequent testing.
You receive a detailed professional report outlining all Gmax readings, pass/fail status by zone, and actionable safety recommendations. If any areas fail, we provide clear guidance on next steps for remediation or surface replacement.
We test a wide range of surfaces including engineered wood fiber, rubber mulch, poured-in-place rubber, rubber tiles, synthetic turf, and sand. Any surface beneath playground equipment or within a critical fall zone can be tested.
