Interpret G-max and HIC results from an ASTM F1292 surfacing test report

Steps
Confirm the report identifies the specific drop height(s) tested and whether it was a lab certification or field test.
Check the reported G-max (peak deceleration) value against the ASTM F1292 pass threshold in effect for that test.
Check the reported HIC (Head Injury Criterion) value against the ASTM F1292 pass threshold in effect for that test.
Confirm the critical fall height stated on the report matches or exceeds the actual maximum fall height of nearby equipment.
Retain the dated test report as documentation, and re-test if surfacing has been topped off, replaced, or subjected to significant compaction/contamination since the last test.
Known gotchas
Confirm the exact current G-max/HIC pass thresholds against the specific edition of ASTM F1292 in effect, since numeric performance criteria in consensus standards can be revised between editions.
A passing lab-certified rating does not guarantee the same result once installed and aged in the field — pair it with periodic field testing where feasible.
