WHAT IS PIPA
WOULD YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN USE A CAR WITH NO MOT OR INSURANCE?Then why use equipment that has not been annually inspected or worse manufactured incorrectly?
PIPA is an inspection scheme set up by the inflatable play industry to ensure
that children’s inflatable play equipment conforms to laid down standards(BSEN14960:E).
All four of the industry’s trade associations have co-operated in setting up the
scheme and it is wholeheartedly supported by the Health and Safety Executive
who were consulted at every stage of the scheme’s development
DON'T RISK YOU OR YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY, use only equipment with a current PIPA/RPII certificate.
The PIPA scheme is supported by the whole industry and was developed in partnership with the Health and Safety Executive
A PIPA tag means:
- Designed to recognised standard based on safety
- Tested by nationally qualified inspector
- Equipment approved for commercial use

WHO ARE THE RPII? The RPII is only 1 of 2 recognised organisations whose inspectors are competent to carry out Annual safety inspections

- ANY INSURANCE THE HIRERS HAS IS INVALID
- THE EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE HIRED COULD BE DANGEROUS OR NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE
IF THE UNIT HAS A CERTIFICATE CHECK THE FOLLOWING
- HAS THE DATE EXPIRED?
- HAS THE TEST BEEN PERFORMED BY A REGISTERED RPII/ADIPS TESTER(THESE ARE THE ONLY RECOGNISED COMPETENT PEOPLE BY LAW) IF IN DOUBT ASK YOUR HIRER
