Cosplay foam for IVA friendly surfaces

Don't ask how I even got to this question, but has anyone thought of using cosplay type foam for padded surfaces? These are high density foams that are made to look like armour or horns for costumes, but in the end it's still a foam;

https://www.tyges.co.uk/product/tyges-45-craft-foam/

I was wondering whether it would be suitable as a 'fake' hard surface? Perhaps the thinner stuff could be used as a paintable edge trim?

Of course, it might then be up to the IVA inspector to judge whether it's considered soft...

test manual, has a note about what constitutes hard.
pg 3 of secn 16

A 'hard' feature is a feature which has a hardness of at least 60 Shore A (as a guide, deemed to be harder than the average pencil eraser).

Wow, I didn't realise that's what they call hard! And there I was thinking the examiner would want to see a visible indent from finger pressure.
