Which Safety Standards Apply to Commercial Indoor Playgrounds and FEC Projects?

Indoor playground safety standards vary by equipment type, destination country, target age group and local approval process. U.S. projects commonly reference ASTM standards, while European playground projects commonly follow the EN 1176 series. Other markets may follow national rules or project-specified ASTM or EN requirements.

A mixed FEC may require different standards for indoor playgrounds, trampoline areas, climbing attractions and other equipment.

How Do Safety Requirements Vary by Market?

Indoor playground safety standards also vary by destination market. In addition to equipment standards, each project may need to meet national or local requirements for building, fire protection, accessibility, inspection and final approval.

United States

ASTM

ASTM standards are commonly referenced.

Local building, fire and accessibility rules may also apply.

Europe

EN 1176 / EN 1177

EN standards are commonly referenced.

National requirements may still vary.

Latin America

National /ASTM / EN

Requirements vary by country

Confirm the applicable standard for each project.

Middle East

Project specified

Requirements are often project-specific.

Local authorities, consultants or venue owners may set additional requirements.

Southeast Asia

National/ ASTM /EN

Requirements vary across Southeast Asia.

Confirm the accepted standard before design.

Other Markets

Local/ project specified

Requirements vary by destination market.

Confirm local and project requirements before design.

How Does Miland Confirm the Applicable Standards?

Miland reviews the destination country, equipment mix, target age group and requirements from the client, consultant or local authority before design. These requirements guide the layout, safety clearances, materials, protective padding, netting and technical documents.

Project Example: For a 1,000 sqm indoor park in Romania, the project included indoor soft play, trampolines, arcade games and bumper cars. Miland reviewed the equipment, installation and documentation needs for each category.

Miland confirms the applicable standards and supporting documents according to each project. Our clients should also verify local building, fire and final approval requirements with local consultants and authorities.
