The PIPA Scheme covers only certain inflatable equipment. The scheme is built on the European Standard BSEN 14960, and additional guidance has been created to not only improve the inspection against the standard, but also expand the scope. Expanding the scope is a slow and labor intensive process. We work to make little and often changes to help pushing things forward in a step-wise approach. As the scope increases, we will update this page

Scope of the PIPA SchemeSome inflatables cannot be inspected under the PIPA inspection scheme. Speak to your PIPA inspector to discuss whether they are able to inspect the equipment as a 'competent person'. This involves issuing an in-house inspection report from their inspection body.
All equipment which is commercially offered for hire or reward must be inspected by a competent person in order to meet health & safety regulations.
PIPA continues to work towards bringing more and more inflatables under the inspection scheme and expanding the scope.
