5. IMPACT RATING

A cleat’s impact rating is established by dropping a set weight onto a product from a set height. The rating relevant to the weight and height characteristics are detailed below. For composite and non-metallic cleats this is conducted at the minimum declared temperature for the cleats. For metallic cleats the testing is done at room temperature. A cleat is deemed to have passed providing there is no damage that would affect the cleats load holding capability.

The impact test is reflective of the resistance to items dropping on it whilst on site, or it being dropped during install.
