Description
At TAIHUI SPORTS, we provide premium shock pads specifically engineered to meet Critical Fall Height (CFH) and Head Injury Criterion (HIC) standards, ensuring maximum protection for users of all ages.
When it comes to playgrounds and sports surfaces, safety isn't optional — it's essential.
Why Choose TAIHUI’s CFH/HIC Shock Pads?
Superior Safety Performance
Our shock pads are independently tested and certified according to EN1177:2018 standards, achieving optimal HIC values below 1000 and meeting fall height requirements up to 3 meters. This makes them ideal for playgrounds, kindergartens, and public sports spaces where impact attenuation is critical.
Consistent Energy Absorption
The closed-cell polyethylene foam structure maintains excellent elastic recovery and long-term resilience, providing consistent safety performance even after prolonged use and repeated impact.
Effective Drainage Design
Each pad is engineered with integrated vertical and horizontal drainage channels, ensuring rapid water flow and surface dryness — essential for outdoor installations and reducing downtime after rain.
Quick & Easy Installation
Our interlocking or roll-based design allows for fast installation, minimizing project delays. The shock pads are compatible with both artificial turf and EPDM rubber flooring systems.
Eco-Friendly & Customizable
Made from environmentally friendly, recyclable materials, we offer customized thickness options (typically 10mm–50mm) to meet various CFH/HIC requirements, based on your surface system and design specifications.
Typical Application Areas:
Schools & Kindergartens
Urban Parks & Community Playgrounds
Outdoor Fitness Areas
Multi-use Game Areas
Professional Sports Fields
Standard: EN1177:2018 / ASTM F1292
Function: Measures impact attenuation by dropping a free-falling hemispherical headform with accelerometers onto the shock pad surface.
Key Feedback Metrics:
HIC Value: Must be < 1000
G-max Value: Usually < 200
CFH (Critical Fall Height): The maximum height at which HIC < 1000
Ensures head injury protection in case of falls.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.Why do I need a shock pad for playgrounds or sports fields?
Shock pads play a critical role in reducing the risk of injury by absorbing and dispersing impact energy. They help surfaces pass CFH/HIC compliance testing and provide long-term comfort, especially in areas where falls or high-impact play is expected.
2.Is the shock pad waterproof or does it allow drainage?
Yes, our CFH/HIC shock pads are designed with built-in drainage channels (both vertical and horizontal) to allow fast water flow, preventing waterlogging and maintaining dry, safe surfaces.
TAIHUI’s shock pads are made of high-density closed-cell polyethylene foam, which offers excellent durability, UV resistance, and elasticity. They can last 8–10 years or more depending on environmental conditions and usage intensity.
