ASTM F1882-06(2014)

1.1 This specification covers the manufacture, assembly, recommended maintenance and use of complete residential basketball systems.

1.2 This specification is intended to reduce the potential hazards associated with the installation and use of residential basketball systems.

1.3 This specification is not intended to apply to the following:

1.4 This specification shall apply only to products manufactured after six months from the date this specification is published.

1.5 This specification does not cover product performance or quality, except as related to safety.

1.6 The tests are intended to uncover hazards, rather than to demonstrate the reliability of the system. The fact that a mechanism or material of a system fails during testing only is relevant if the failure creates a potential hazard.

1.7 The rationale for provisions in this specification are given in Appendix X1 and Appendix X2.

1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
