Trampoline Standards
Currently there are few mandatory trampoline standards. This means manufacturers have no obligation to ensure minimum levels of quality and safety.
On a spring-based trampoline, safety pads must be at least 10 inches thick and remain on the trampoline over its lifetime to meet the minimum impact force standards. This standard is rarely met by spring-based backyard trampolines.
On a Springfree™ Trampoline, impact zones have been engineered out of the jumping area. Our SoftEdge™ is over 30 times softer than required by industry standards.
We have compiled current trampoline standards from around the world for reference.

Name | Description |
| Global | ASTM F381 - 09a | This safety specification covers the components, the assembly, and the use of consumer trampolines. This specification is intended to reduce the demonstrated hazards associated with the use of trampolines by consumers in home environments. |
| Global | ASTM F2225 - 09b | This safety specification covers the performance and safety requirements intended to reduce the potential hazards associated with the manufacture and assembly of components, maintenance, use, and labelling of consumer trampoline enclosures. This specification is applicable to trampoline enclosures to be sold as an accessory to or packaged with trampolines |
| Europe | EN 13219:2008 | This European Standard specifies functional requirements for the use of trampolines, and highlights basic safety requirements. |
| Australia | AS4989-2006 | The Australian Standard outlines minimum acceptable design standards and appropriate consumer information requirements. Australian Standards strongly encourages manufacturers to minimize injury risk through design improvement. |
