Safety and Quality of Play and Sports Equipment

Manufacturers and operators of play and sports equipment bear a great deal of responsibility, as they must ensure the safety and functionality of their equipment at all times. From the initial concept design to its production, installation, and operation. Often playground equipment and installations exhibit heavy wear and tear, whether from rust, decay, splintering or vandalism. Unforeseeable safety problems can arise with outdoor play equipment due to the effect of severe weather. It is vital to establish and guarantee operational safety according to applicable local and international standards. Several countries have already developed guidelines, regulations and inspection programs intended to protect users against accidents and injuries

Inspections and certifications can be conducted according to all major standards such as EN 1176-All parts, EN 14960-All parts,,EN1177 EN 15567 all parts, EN 12572, EN 14974, EN 16630, EN 13219 local legislation and relevant national and international applicable specifications and standard.
