RE:    Requirements for Certification of Inflated Amusement Devices

This notice is intended to clarify the requirements for certifying inflated amusement devices. It is directed at companies that operate or rent inflated amusement devices.

Alberta Government Policy requires the following types of inflated devices that operate at places where the general public is allowed, be certified and inspected
1)   Inflated Slides
2)   Inflated Bounce Devices with a jump surface higher than .25m from the base that are fully or partially enclosed above the jump surface.

Definition of places where the general public is allowed would include but not be limited to, public events, fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks, street or block parties.  Inflated Devices that operate exclusively at private events where access is restricted to invited guests of the event organizer (i.e. company events, private parties, church functions, etc.) do not require certification or inspections.
Alberta Municipal Affairs Technical Administrator for Elevating Devices will make final determination of what is considered a public event.

If you have any questions, about these requirements. Or to obtain the necessary forms to register your inflated device(s). Please contact the AEDARSA Edmonton office at the address listed above.
