The European Norm (EN) covers general safety requirements and test methods. Look for "EN1176" in our Products section of the website to see Playworld's EN-compliant products.

Playworld is in full compliance with the material, testing, and reporting requirements of the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). We are below the lead content in paint and substrate limits.

Playworld is a founding member of the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA), a member-driven organization whose mission is to assist in providing safe environments for children to play. In the interest of playground safety, IPMEA provides a third-party certification service, whereby a designated independent laboratory (TUV America) validates a participant's certification of conformance to the following standards:

ASTMI Standard F1487:
Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use
CAN/CSA Z614:
Guidelines on Children's Play Spaces and Equipment
ASTM F1292:
Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation Under and Around Playground Equipment.

The use of the corresponding IPEMA certification logos signify that Playworld has received written validation from an independent laboratory that the products associated with the use of the logo conform with the requirements of the indicated standard.
