What IPEMA certification means

The International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association provides a third-party certification program for playground equipment. Through the program, TÜV SÜD America validates an equipment manufacturer’s certification of compliance with the applicable requirements of ASTM F1487, CAN/CSA Z614, or both.

Lappset Sona, model 290100, and Lappset Memo, model 290500, are listed as certified products in the IPEMA database. Certification relates to compliance with the applicable playground equipment safety requirements. Product characteristics such as play value, inclusive use, learning opportunities, and social interaction are separate benefits of the products and are not themselves certified by IPEMA.

For Lappset, the certification of Sona and Memo is an important recognition of the quality and care behind these products. It also supports a wider ambition: to help customers create public play environments that are safe, engaging and meaningful in daily life.

Lappset Sona Interactive dance and play arch

Lappset Sona, model 290100, is an interactive dance and play arch designed to bring people together through movement, music and games.

Children, adults and older adults can play together underneath the arch. Its open, barrier-free entrance makes Sona easy to access, while its range of games supports different ages, abilities and play styles.

Sona responds to movement through motion-sensing technology. With the press of a button, players can start a game, follow instructions, react to music, solve challenges or simply move together.

Why Sona adds value to public spaces

Sona can become a central gathering point in a park, playground, schoolyard or community space. Its distinctive arch design attracts attention without closing off the surrounding area.

The motion-sensing technology supports spontaneous play, while the soundscape is designed to focus the experience underneath the arch and help reduce unnecessary noise in the surrounding area.

For public playground projects, Sona supports movement, dancing, active group games, cognitive challenges, barrier-free access and social interaction.

Lappset Memo Interactive play pillars for outdoor learning

The Lappset Memo model 290500 consists of seven play pillars, each with a 360° LED touch screen. The main pillar guides the game, while the surrounding pillars respond to players’ actions. This creates an engaging experience where children move, think, collaborate and respond.

The name Memo reflects the product’s focus on memory and movement. Children can play games that support math, language, science, memory, storytelling, teamwork, reaction speed and physical activity.

Why Memo adds value to public spaces

Memo turns the playground into a place for learning, movement and collaboration. It supports children’s development by encouraging them to move, think, communicate and solve challenges together. For teachers, municipalities and project teams, Memo offers a flexible way to combine outdoor play, active learning and digital interaction.

Memo supports STEM education, 21st-century skills, movement-based learning, teamwork, custom quizzes, outdoor classroom concepts and play value beyond breaktime.
