What is the HIC benchmark according to ASTM 1292 Test Method?

  1. 750 HIC

  2. 850 HIC

  3. 1000 HIC

  4. 1200 HIC

The correct answer is: 1000 HIC

The HIC benchmark, according to ASTM 1292 Test Method, is 1000 HIC. This is the highest level of head injury criterion (HIC) allowed for playground surfaces, indicating that surfaces with a HIC value of 1000 or below are considered safe for use. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they all have HIC values that exceed the benchmark of 1000 HIC. Therefore, choosing any of these options would indicate a surface that is not safe for play according to ASTM standards.
