BB-1132 - EN14960 Testing probe kit

At Betterbounce, we offer the fully calibrated EN14960 testing probes, a crucial accessory if you're a rental business in the inflatable hire industry.

The manufacturing of probes for testing inflatable play equipment, such as those used in the EN14960 compliance process, involves precision and adherence to specific standards to ensure safety and effectiveness. Here's a breakdown of why these probes are manufactured with such precision:

1. Probes with Larger Head (+/- 1mm Precision):

   • Safety Compliance: The larger head probes are designed to meet specific safety standards outlined in BS EN 14960 - 2019. This standard specifies the safety requirements and test methods for inflatable play equipment. The +/- 1mm precision ensures that the probes accurately mimic potential hazards or user interactions with the equipment.
   • Durability and Robustness: These probes are used to test the durability and robustness of inflatable play equipment. The precision in manufacturing ensures that the probes can withstand repeated use without degrading, ensuring consistent and reliable testing over time.

2. Finger Probe (0.01mm Precision):

   • Simulating Children's Fingers: The finger probe, with its high precision of 0.01mm, is designed to simulate the size of children's fingers. This level of precision is necessary to accurately assess the risk of entrapment or injury to children, which is a critical aspect of safety testing.
   • Identifying Small Defects: The fine precision allows for the detection of very small defects or potential hazards in the inflatable equipment. This is crucial for ensuring that even the smallest risk factors are identified and addressed.

3. Ideal for Bouncy Castle Testers:

   • Comprehensive Testing: These probes allow for a comprehensive assessment of inflatable play equipment, such as bouncy castles, ensuring they meet all safety standards.
   • Longevity and Quality Assurance: The top-quality manufacturing of these probes not only assures longevity but also provides a consistent standard for testing over time. This consistency is vital for businesses in the inflatable hire industry to maintain safety standards and customer trust.

4. Compliance with Regulatory Bodies:

   • HSE Compliance Scheme: Carrying these probes is a requirement for compliance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) compliance scheme in the UK.
   • Accreditation Bodies: They are also essential for businesses seeking accreditation or compliance with bodies such as RPII, PIPA, ADIPS, or manufacturer guidelines.

In summary, the precise manufacturing of these probes, both the larger head probes and the finger probe, is essential for ensuring the safety, durability, and effectiveness of testing inflatable play equipment. This precision helps inflatable hire businesses comply with safety standards and maintain customer trust by ensuring their equipment is safe and reliable.
