What is Pipa
PIPA is an inspection scheme set up by the inflatable play industry to ensure that children’s inflatable play equipment conforms to recognized standards. It is coordinated by The Performance Textiles Association (trading as MUTA), the UK's only Trade Association dedicated to marquees, tents, and structures, whose members include manufacturers and operators of inflatable play equipment. The scheme is supported by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) who were consulted at every stage of its development.
How does the scheme work
Each piece of conforming equipment supplied by a reputable manufacturer or importer is “tagged” with a unique number which is attached to the inflatable throughout its life.
The tag number is logged on a central database where the results of its initial test and subsequent annual tests are recorded. In addition, a report is issued with each test.
All users have access to the PIPA database via the Internet (www.pipa.org.uk) and can, therefore, check on the inspection status of any tagged equipment.

We are the first possibly and only company in Ireland to commit to Pipa. We got all our bouncy castles tested by Gerry Frawley in Bounce Ireland. All our bouncy castles now all show the Pipa tag badge on the front of our steps. They also have a QR code reader on the badge so you can scan from your camera phone and it will show if the test of the inflatable is in or out of date.
