Warning labels meet requirements of Sectlon14.3 of standard Page 12:General requirements#6 This section of the standard as provided in the audit states: 7.2.6 Handrails:7.2.6.1 Continuous handrails shall be provided on both sides of stairways(see 7.3.1.3 for spiral stairways),ramps,and stepladders that have more than one tread. The current version of the standard also indicates (I)Exemptions—Stairways do not require handrails where protective barriers are used.Barriers on stairways must provide alternate hand support. Response:Compliant with current version of standard Page 12:General requirements#10 Audit states: 7.4.1 On stairways and stepladders,there shall be a continuation of handrails from the access to the platform. Response:Compliant with current version of standard, see above exemption Page 13:General requirements#18 The standard states: 6.5 Crush and Shear Points—There shall be no crush or shear points caused by junctures of two components moving relative to one another,or at an opening present at the junction of a stationary support and a rigid supporting member for a swinging element(that is,pendulum see saw,glide rides,and so forth)while the swinging elements are within their normal swinging angles.A crush or shear point is any point that entraps at one or more positions a 0.62 in.(15.7 mm)diameter rod. Response:Compliant The audit does not provide evidence of testing for compliance by the auditor in accordance with the above requirement. There is no indication by measurement or photo to indicate testing to verify was performed. It is the responsibility of the auditor to have the above listed tools and perform testing to verify compliance. Kompan playground equipment,specifically the NRO105, has been evaluated for compliance to the ASTM F1487-17:"Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use", The component has also been tested in accordance with all applicable safety requirements and test methods of ASTM F1487-17, verified and IPEMA certified.Equipment is also evaluated for compliance to with the CPSC guidelines as published in the current edition of the "Handbook for Public Playground Safety". Please visit the IPEMA website from verification. Page 29:General equipment Conditions#4 The standard states: KOMPANt Lers play Seesaws not equipped with spring centering device have footrest. The above is incorrectly interpretted from the standard which reads: 8.10.5 Fulcrum seesaws shall not be equipped with footrests unless they have a spring centering mechanism to minimize the risk of injury due to abrupt contact with the underlying protective surface. Response:Compliant If you have any additional questions or concerns,please feel free to contact me.

Status, date: 2021-03-12 Signature: ,7061n Tedersen, Product Safety Manager Product Safety Management Side 4 KOMPAN Product Safety Evaluation Subject: Response to Inspection Report Comment from KOMPAN Group Safety: To evaluate the situation,we found the necessary items in our stock and made a test by use of the test probe as described in ASTM F1487. To the sides the opening is presented by a cylinder shaped top part rotating during the intended movement.In this opening it is nowhere possible to enter the probe to a position where it is entrapped. In the centre of the beam is a supporting bracket: (M :1 i s The distance between the bracket and the stable part below is in all situations more than 15,7mm,which is the dimension of the test probe.This means it Is not possible to entrap the test probe in this position either. Per definition of ASTM F1476 sec.6.5 the opening is not a crush and shear point. Arguments are made,that a finger may be drawn into the opening. Our general approach in this situation is,that compliance with the requirements provide an adequate level of safety in this situation. If we are to evaluate the risk as described based on sec.1.6.1,we would base it on severity as well as probability. Severity will be low.The moving item is cylinder shaped and the opening does not change in dimension.Only factor pulling a finger in is friction.If at all possible,it might be unpleasant leading to painful,but the degree of injury based on an official injury scale is low. Also the probability is low.The risk of a user putting his finger into this opening is low as there is no purpose.At the same time somebody else needs to rock the seesaw and the user with his hands in the opening must remain in the position.It is always easy to pull the finger out,so it is unlikely he will remain in the position.The movement of the beam will also reduce the likelihood. A low severity combined with a low probability means a very low risk. From that perspective we also find the opening is within acceptable.

Response:Compliant_The Multi Springer is exempt as stated In 9.5.2.3 Comment from Matt Baum: The multi Springer is currently located too close to a 2-5 flied play structure the "Wizards Hideaway". In some of your documentation the springer is listed for ages 2-5 and In other areas 2-12. I would agree logically that all ages will use it and it may be appropriate for ages 2-12,however,Its located too close to a fixed structure designated far ages 2-5. The springer is a standing springer and 1 don't think that it is unreasonable to think that a couple of 12 year olds could propel themselves and land on a 2-5 year old at the adjacent playhouse.Therefore,I would disagree that this springer is not exempt from 9.5.2.2. Product Safety Management Side 1 i • KOMPAN Product Safety Evaluation Subject: Response to Inspection Report Comment from KOMPAN Group Safety: First of all, I'd like to say that the name'Multi Springer'is not the best.It implies much more movement than the product allows. In fact,we sometimes have remarks that customers are disappointed it does not allow more movement than it does. In my opinion it would be better to see this product as a simple balance equipment more than a springer. It is a subjective judgement, but based on our internal testing we find the product does not provide movement allowing anybody to propel themselves from the product. I fully support the evaluation made by Joe McGuan.

Comment from Matt Baum: I will also admit that I did not have a.62 diameter rod to test the pivot point on the seesaw. But I did place my finger in the gap between moving cylinder and the fixed bracket and lightly moved the seesaw downward. 1 didn't get far before the cylinder was sucking my finger in,any further and I feared I would have crushed my finger. However,I'm am not positive this would have happen,as I stopped at the point it became uncomfortable.If someone from your staff would like to place their finger in this space and demonstrate that it is safe then I will concede.
