Annual Safety Testing
The only legal requirement for the safety inspecting of bouncy castles and inflatables is to comply with The Provision and Use of Work Equipment regulations 1998 (PUWER), this states that you must have an annual inspection carried out by a competent person. The HSE themselves do not and will not officially recommend any specific body. All they specify is if the test was carried out by a competent person and as such we use an independent competent inspector. As part of this testing, The tester must be able to demonstrate that the inflatable is manufactured in accordance with the latest BS/EN14960 Regulations, which ensures inflatables are safe in design and manufacture, are Flame retardant and fit for purpose as well as ensuring the inflatables are in a good state of repair.
