Installation Documentation
Last updated:Equipment manufacturers/suppliers must submit documentary evidence of compliance with BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177.
Where equipment is unable to meet a standard, an explanation of acceptability or evidence of third-party testing by a recognised body or a risk assessment should be provided.
Appropriate test certificates should be obtained indicating that the surfacing meets the impact absorbency requirements for the equipment to be used.
The installer should provide written confirmation that the equipment and surfacing have been installed to the manufacturer’s instructions and to the relevant standard where appropriate.
Where considered necessary, a post-installation inspection, including indicative surfacing tests, should be carried out by ROSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) or other appropriate body.
