Annual Safety Inspections

Annual safety inspections are a critical requirement for professional inflatable hirers operating across the country. Every bouncy castle, inflatable slide and obstacle course must be independently inspected to ensure it complies with European safety standard EN14960.

These inspections identify structural compliance to standards, wear and tear, structural weaknesses, anchoring issues and material defects that may develop through transport, setup and repeated use. A valid annual inspection certificate confirms that the unit is safe for public use and meets recognised safety standards, helping to protect both users and operators.

Do you need an annual inspection for Inflatable insurance?

Annual Inflatable Inspection works hand-in-hand with Public Liability Insurance requirements. Insurance providers typically require a valid inspection certificate for each inflatable unit before issuing or renewing cover. 

Annual inflatable inspections are therefore not just a safety measure — they are a fundamental part of operating a compliant, insured and professional inflatable hire business in Ireland.
