IPEMA's primary mission is to provide playground equipment and surfacing with independently tested safety certification to meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for safety. IPEMA's work to promote play goes far beyond the testing program. IPEMA members are committed to providing safe play spaces for all children, and many have proven that commitment by donating time, equipment and surfacing, and expertise to designing play spaces that are beneficial to all children.
