More than just inspecting.

PIPA is working towards being the 'One Voice' of the inflatable industry. Recently we have introduced Operator Training for the industry, and an expansion in what can be inpsected under the PIPA scheme. We continue to move forward with developing the scheme and ensuring it meets the demands of all its stakeholders.
