This standard is titled "Inflatable play equipment - Safety requirements and test methods" and specifically focuses on safety requirements for inflatable play equipment, including bouncy castles.

EN 14960 sets out the safety measures and guidelines for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of inflatable bouncy castles to ensure the safety of users, particularly children. The standard covers various aspects, such as:

Design and construction requirements: It specifies design criteria, material quality, and construction methods to ensure the integrity and stability of the inflatable bouncy castles.

Inflation and deflation safety: It addresses procedures for safe inflation and deflation to prevent accidents during setup and takedown.

Anchoring and stability: The standard provides guidelines for securing the bouncy castle to the ground to prevent tipping or displacement during use.

User capacity and age groups: It outlines the maximum number of users allowed on the bouncy castle simultaneously and recommends age-appropriate usage.

Entrances and exits: The standard addresses safe entry and exit points to minimize the risk of collisions and accidents.

Safety barriers and netting: It defines requirements for safety barriers and netting to prevent users from falling off the inflatable structure.

Warning signs and user guidelines: The standard includes guidelines for providing clear warning signs and user instructions to inform users and operators about potential risks and safety measures.

Inspection and maintenance: EN 14960 outlines inspection and maintenance procedures to ensure the bouncy castle remains safe for use over time.

For the most current and accurate information on EN 14960 or any other relevant safety standards for inflatable bouncy castles in Europe, I recommend consulting official sources or relevant standards organizations.
