Inspection of Ropes Courses, Adventure Parks and Ziplines

INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION

The inspection is a technical review of the installation. It is performed by a competent technician who reviews the installation as a whole and the operation and condition of each of its components to ensure user safety and compliance with the relevant standards. As a result, a declaration of conformity and a certificate is issued.

Upon hiring the inspection, the inspector becomes your consultant to offer solutions and technical advice.

We perform periodical (annual) inspections according to EN 15567-1:2015 and 2007 and PPE inspections according to EN 15567-2:2015 – both mandatory according to EN 15567.
