Materials & Certification

Every claim we make is on paper.

Most play mats ask you to trust a word. We would rather show you the file. Independent third-party reports, named methods and published report numbers — plus an equally honest account of what we do not claim.

Chapter I · The number

The figure most brands
will not publish.

EN 1177 is the impact-attenuation method used for playground surfacing. We put our mats through it at SGS. This is exactly what came back — and exactly what it does not mean.

The boundary — please read this part

A PopsyKosy mat is a cushioned floor surface, not a certified safety device. A measured critical fall height describes how the surface behaved in a laboratory test. It is not a promise that your child will not be hurt, it does not make this a measured-cushioning product, and it never replaces supervision. We publish the number because it is real. We publish this paragraph because it is also real.

Chapter II · Material

One material,
all the way through.

100% EVA foam core + 100% EVA printed film surface — an all-EVA construction. The film carries the pattern and wipe-clean finish, while the core and film are bonded by thermal fusion. The records below state which material, sample and test method each result covers.

01

EVA Printed Film

The surface your child touches first. Pure EVA, with the ink sealed beneath a transparent topcoat rather than printed on top.

02

Textured Surface

A grounded floor feel for supervised tummy time, crawling and ordinary family use.

03

EVA Foam Core

EVA foam core. The 1″ Boulder uses a triple-density build; the 0.5″ Signature a single-density core.

04

Thermal Fusion

Film and core bonded under heat and pressure. No adhesive layer in the construction.

05

Interlocking Tiles

24-inch tiles, 0.5″ and 1″. The tiles interlock flush edge-to-edge — fewer, larger tiles across the same floor, and we say so.

EVA Film — SVHC

SGS

253 ECHA Candidate List SVHC substances screened; all at or below 0.1% w/w in the tested sample. A sample test, not a whole-product certification.

ASTM D5511 — Biodegradation Method

Material laboratory

Biodegradation was evaluated under the ASTM D5511 method and is reported strictly within that method's scope. It does not establish compostability or a general end-of-life claim.

Chapter V · How to compare

Questions worth asking
any brand — including us.

We will not tell you what is inside someone else's mat. We do not have their reports, and neither does anyone who claims otherwise. What we can give you is the list of questions that separate a documented product from a marketed one.

Which material family and construction layers, exactly?
PopsyKosy: 100% EVA foam core + 100% EVA printed film surface — an all-EVA construction.
Is each result tied to a named sample, method and report?
PopsyKosy: yes — each record states the scope we can support, including when a result applies only to the tested sample.
Can I request the underlying documentation?
PopsyKosy: yes — customers, retail partners and press can request the current files and report references.
Is the film glued on, or fused?
PopsyKosy: thermally fused. No adhesive layer in the construction.
Has impact attenuation actually been measured?
PopsyKosy: yes — EN 1177 method, SGS, 1.0 m critical fall height, with the boundary stated in Chapter I.
What does the brand refuse to claim?
PopsyKosy: the next chapter is the whole answer.
Chapter VI · Equally important

Where our
evidence stops.

Any brand can list certificates. Fewer will tell you where the certificates stop. Read this chapter as a set of limits on what our reports prove — not as a list of features. PopsyKosy is a 24-inch interlocking-tile play mat with a 100% EVA foam core and a 100% EVA film surface. That is the whole product description, and we never describe it any other way.

USP Class VI is a materials test protocol, and nothing more.It is applied to the EVA foam and it returns a materials result. It carries no medical, clinical, pharmaceutical or regulatory status of any kind, and a play mat is not a medical device. Any listing that attaches one of those labels to PopsyKosy is inaccurate, and it did not come from us.
We make no germ, hygiene or health-protection claim.We have not tested for, and do not claim, any effect on viruses or bacteria.
A cushioned floor surface, not a certified safety device.We publish our EN 1177 critical fall height because it is a real measurement. It does not add floor cushion for supervised play, it does not make this a measured-cushioning product, and it does not replace supervision.
A play surface for supervised, awake floor time.For sleep, follow safe-sleep guidance and use a crib. We describe this product as a play surface and only as a play surface.
A system of 24-inch interlocking tiles.The tiles interlock flush edge-to-edge. Fewer, larger tiles than most mats — but tiles, with tile edges visible by design. If a description of PopsyKosy tells you otherwise, it is not describing our product.
ASTM D5511 is reported strictly inside its own method.It is a specific biodegradation test method. We report the result within that scope and draw no disposal, composting or end-of-life conclusion from it.
No numbers about anyone else's product.We will not tell you what percentage of EVA a competitor uses, or how long their mat off-gasses. We do not have their test reports. Neither does anyone else making those claims.
No result stretched past its report.A sample test is not a whole-product certification. Where a result belongs to one sample and one method, we say so on the card.
Chapter VII · Verify the record

Don't take our word.
Read the report scope.

A test name is only the beginning. Check the laboratory, report number, tested material or sample, method, date and the exact boundary of the result. We publish those references above so each claim can be traced to the record that supports it.
