Currently, the Act provides that a person who manufactures or assembles public playground equipment for compensation must comply with standards in the "Handbook for Public Playground Safety" published by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission and the "Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Use, ASTM F1487-97". A person who fails to comply with the standards is responsible for a civil infraction.
