New ASTM Standards for Wall Pads
Porter recently reported that the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has established Standard Specification F2440-04. The purpose of the standard specification is to identify a minimum level of protection for impact and shock absorption properties for wall padding. In addition, the standard specification sets precise recommendations on the installation of these pads. Padding is typically installed no more than 4 inches from the floor, up to 6 feet.
