Bouncy Castle Safety Inspections

Have you ever wondered what happens during an annual bouncy castle safety inspection? Take a behind-the-scenes look at the detailed checks carried out to help ensure our inflatables remain safe, compliant and ready for hire.

Annual Inflatable Safety Testing

Inflatables used for commercial hire should undergo a detailed inspection at least once every year. This helps confirm that the inflatable remains in a safe condition and continues to meet the relevant requirements of the British and European safety standard, BS EN 14960.

Our inflatables are inspected by a suitably qualified RPII inspector. RPII stands for the Register of Play Inspectors International, an organisation that provides training, examination and registration for inspectors working within the play and inflatable industry.

You may also hear annual inflatable inspections referred to as PIPA testing. PIPA is another widely recognised inspection scheme for inflatable play equipment. Both RPII inspections and PIPA inspections are commonly used within the UK inflatable hire industry to demonstrate that equipment has received an appropriate annual examination.

Each inflatable is carefully examined so that any wear, damage or potential safety concern can be identified.

Where an inspector identifies an issue, the inflatable may require repair or further assessment before it can be returned to service.

Safety Checks Before Every Hire

Annual testing is only one part of maintaining safe inflatable equipment. Our inflatables are also checked regularly by our own experienced team and visually inspected when they are installed for an event.

We check the condition of the inflatable, its anchor points, electrical equipment, blower, inflation and surrounding area before handing it over to the customer.
