Certifications and standards for Dubai playground projects help investors and schools verify safety, durability, and responsible manufacturing practices.
Our Safety & Quality Approach
- EN 1176 and EN 1177 knowledge in design
- Yearly TÜV testing certification per EN 1176
- ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 compliance
EN 1176 – Playground Equipment Standard
EN 1176 is a European standard series for playground equipment and surfacing, establishing safety requirements and test methods for specific equipment types. It covers structural integrity, entrapment hazards, fall heights, and surfacing requirements.
EN 1177 – Impact Attenuation
EN 1177 focuses on test methods for impact attenuation of playground surfacing, supporting decisions about safer play surfaces. While EN 1176 addresses the equipment itself, EN 1177 ensures the ground beneath it can absorb impact energy in the event of a fall.
TÜV Certification
TÜV provides independent testing and certification services aligned with recognized standards. Lars Laj products are certified, tested, and approved by TÜV in Germany according to DIN EN 1176.
ISO Management Standards
ISO 9001 – Quality Management
ISO 9001 provides a quality management system framework for consistent processes, ensuring that manufacturing operations meet customer and regulatory requirements.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
ISO 14001 provides an environmental management system framework for improving environmental performance and managing environmental responsibilities systematically.
Nordic Swan Ecolabel
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries, representing sustainability commitments in materials sourcing and manufacturing processes.
