Full title and description

Inflatable play equipment — Part 2: Additional safety requirements for inflatable bouncing pillows intended for permanent installation. This part of ISO 20187 specifies additional safety requirements for permanently installed inflatable bouncing pillows used by children (age 14 and under), addressing design, manufacture, installation and information to be supplied to reduce risk of injury during intended or reasonably foreseeable use.

Abstract

This document sets out additional safety requirements specific to inflatable bouncing pillows intended for permanent installation. It supplements the general safety requirements and test methods for inflatable play equipment by specifying measures to address hazards associated with bouncing-pillows, including requirements for construction, anchoring/installation, user information and limitations of use. It is intended for equipment whose primary activity is bouncing and is applicable to children up to 14 years old; it excludes inflatable water-borne equipment, domestic inflatable toys, air-supported buildings, rescue/protection inflatables and other inflatables where bouncing is not the primary activity.

Scope

ISO 20187-2:2022 applies to inflatable play equipment for which the primary activity is bouncing and specifically to inflatable bouncing pillows intended for permanent installation. The standard addresses hazards inherent to bouncing-pillows and sets requirements to protect children (up to 14 years) when the equipment is used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner. It does not apply to products covered by ISO 20187‑1:2022 (general inflatable play equipment), inflatable water-borne play and leisure equipment, domestic inflatable toys, air-supported buildings, inflatables used solely for protection or rescue, or other inflatables where bouncing is not the main activity.

Key topics and requirements

• Additional safety requirements specific to inflatable bouncing pillows (construction and design features to reduce entrapment, tipping and impact risks).
• Applicability limits: intended users (children up to 14 years) and intended primary activity (bouncing).
• Requirements for permanent installation and anchoring to ensure stability and reduce movement hazards.
• Information and marking requirements to be supplied with the equipment (user instructions, age limits, installation/maintenance guidance and warnings).
• Exclusions and interfaces with ISO 20187‑1:2022 (general safety requirements and test methods), which remains the principal document for general tests and requirements.
• Risk-based measures and test references (the standard focuses on additional measures while relying on part 1 for core test methods and broader safety provisions).

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers and designers of permanent inflatable bouncing pillows, playground and park operators, installers and maintenance personnel, product safety engineers, conformity assessment bodies and national regulators specifying safety requirements for public play areas. Also useful to specifiers and purchasers who require compliance with international safety guidance for permanently installed inflatable play surfaces.
