CPSIA Safety Compliance

At Landscape Structures, product safety will never be compromised. We believe there is no investment more valuable than the protection and safety of our children. That's why we always strive to go beyond the minimum safety requirements and build this value into every piece of playground equipment we produce.

 

The Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 specifies safe limits on the maximum allowable amount of lead in paints, coatings and other materials used on children's products, and sets limits on certain heavy metals and six different phthalates (plasticizers used to make vinyl and other plastics soft and flexible) used in certain toys and child care articles. Landscape Structures has tested hundreds of materials to validate compliance to this new safety act.

 

All products manufactured and distributed through Landscape Structures meet or exceed the requirements of the CPSIA.

Landscape Structures products meet or exceed the requirements of the CPSIA.
Here's how we EXCEED minimum CPSIA safety requirements:
  • All paints and coatings have a lead content of less than 90 ppm (parts per million)
  • All materials accessible by children have a safe lead content (less than 300 ppm)
  • Each play structure is permanently marked with a non-removable aluminum tag displaying manufacturer and location information, date of production and production identifier
  • Although the CPSC has ruled that public playground equipment is not subject to the phthalate limits, we have chosen not to use any banned phthalates in our products
  • Even though playground equipment does not need to meet the soluble limits of certain heavy metals in paints and coatings, per ASTM  F963, we have chosen to follow these requirements
  • A Certificate of Compliance specific to each Landscape Structures playstructure is available upon request after shipment of that play structure
