Tent regulations: structural safety and technical requirements

Tent regulations establish the criteria that must be met by demountable or temporary structures installed in public or private spaces. These requirements regulate aspects such as:

Wind load resistance.
Structural stability.
Anchorage systems.
Reaction to fire of the materials.
Assembly and maintenance conditions.

The objective is to minimize risks and guarantee the safety of both users and organizers.

UNE-EN 13782: temporary tents

The UNE-EN 13782 standard regulates temporary demountable structures, such as tents intended for events, fairs, or provisional installations. It defines technical criteria related to:

Structural calculation.
Mechanical resistance.
Evacuation systems.
Safety requirements during assembly.

It is one of the key standards in the temporary tents and events sector in Europe.

UNE-EN 13561:2015 and EN 13561:2015: external awnings

The UNE-EN 13561:2015 standard (equivalent to EN 13561:2015 at the European level) regulates performance and safety requirements for external awnings. It establishes criteria regarding:

Wind resistance (classification by classes).
Mechanical durability.
Safety in use.
CE marking.

It is a fundamental standard for fixed or retractable installations on facades, terraces, or commercial spaces.

UNE-EN 14960:2014 and bouncy castle regulations

The UNE-EN 14960:2014 standard regulates inflatable play equipment, including bouncy castle regulations used in events, inflatable parks, or celebrations.

This standard establishes specific requirements regarding:

Design and manufacture.
Structural resistance.
Mandatory anchorages.
Protection and cushioning systems.
Periodic inspections.

Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure children’s safety and avoid legal liabilities.

Regulatory compliance and technical advice

At Tecnodimension, we advise on the application of regulations for tents and temporary structures, and we guarantee that every installation strictly complies with current technical and legal requirements.

We collaborate with event organizers, public administrations, engineering firms, and technical managers to ensure:

Complete technical documentation.
Structural calculation reports.
Required certifications.
Compliance with European and national regulations.

Our objective is to offer safe, certified solutions adapted to each project.

Safety and regulations in each project

Compliance with regulations is not only a legal obligation, but also a guarantee of safety, quality, and professional responsibility.

At Tecnodimension, we work under recognized technical standards such as UNE-EN 13782, UNE-EN 13561:2015, and UNE-EN 14960:2014, and we ensure that every tent, awning, or inflatable installation meets the required criteria.
