iGoal Tech Spec
We take safety very seriously and secondly aim to save our customers valuable time - the two do go hand in hand with all our products.
What is behind the patented technology which makes Air Structures International products unique?
- The frame - developed using 3 layer hose with a bursting pressure of 5.6 bar (81.2psi) Our soccer goals are inflated to a maximum pressure of 15 lbs per sq inch (i.e. 1 Bar). At this pressure the goals becomes rigid, straight and when a football hits the frame it reacts as a normal soccer goal.
- The connectors - are made of ABS - commonly known as engineering steel with a high tensile strength.
How can you be sure of quality?
- All products come with a ONE YEAR guarantee against manufacturing faults.
- All products are tested and certified to the necessary BSi standard for that specific products use- certificates available on request.
- We take great care during the complex supply chain to ensure quality assurance.
- We use independent guidance and expert testing from partner TUV Product Service. They are the world leader in independent testing & certification, established for over 150 years and have 13,000 professionals in over 600 locations We aim to be above and beyond market obligations and strive to exceed expectations.
Not only do we care about you receiving a quality product but ensure all the materials used are friendly to our environment;
- TUV test each and every component used in all Air Structures International products.
- Analyse levels of harmful/toxic substances
- Check against EU: Annex XVII which contains a list of 38 SVH's
- Check against USA: CPSIA (Lead & phthalates) directives
- Ongoing testing with full published results - available on request
Here is an overview of tests completed independently by TUV;
