Why is it necessary to certify the children's playground equipment?

The decree includes specifications for the manufacturers, importers, distributors. The children's playground equipment may be released if it meets the requirements and this is verified by a conformity certificate.

The conformity of the children's playground equipment to the laws, standard shall be assessed by organisations designated by the Minister of Economy and Transport.
The Hungarian Standards Institutions (MSZT) as a non-profit public body, independent from manufacturers that wants to take an active part in the safety of children's playground equipment and by this in the safety of children's playground, asked its designation from the competent minister.
The Minister of Economy and Transport qualified MSZT as competent and designated it for checking of the children's playground equipment under the registration number 074/2004.
