Telure Standard 2026.1
The Telure Standard for a ninja course
A versioned, Telure-curated program of checks for a ninja course, written in Telure’s own words and organized by how the facility actually runs: the daily rhythm first, then the recurring program above it. It is a documented reference the facility measures its own work against and records reasons against, not a certification. The basis register below shows what informs it, and at what depth.
ASTM F2970-informed alignment tracker
Inside Telure, this list is an alignment tracker a facility turns on with a checkbox. The recurring program below is its clause list, informed by ASTM F2970. The facility matches its own tasks, checklist items and training items to the clauses they cover, marks the clauses that do not apply with a written reason, and its exports state what share of the rest has a check behind it.
This tracker is Telure's own clause list, informed by the organization's published document. It does not replace reading that document yourself and verifying your facility against it, and marking a clause here is a note on your own record, not a statement by that organization. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs.
The daily rhythm
Opening walk
Walked before the doors open, item by item, each answer attributed to the person who gave it. The starting set for a ninja course:
- Every adjustable obstacle pinned and clipped; no missing hardware
- Obstacle-to-truss fasteners tight; no visible back-out
- Quick links gated, shackles pinned, slings untwisted
- Crash pads centered under every hanging obstacle; no gaps
- Pad seams and velcro joins closed across landing zones
- Ropes and slings free of fraying, glazing, or core exposure
- Grip surfaces clean; no chalk cake or slick spots
- Warped wall run-up dry and clear of debris
- Truss and rig: no cracks, bent members, or shifted base plates
- Capacity and age/height rules signage in place
- First aid kit stocked; AED accessible
During hours
Anything flagged during the day opens a corrective entry on the spot: the item, the finding, and who saw it. Taking equipment or an area out of service is a recorded event with a name attached, and so is returning it. Nothing waits for the end of the shift to become a record.
Closing check
The end-of-day counterpart every facility runs: securing the space and making sure nothing the day surfaced dies overnight.
- Activity areas clear: no members left inside
- Hazards cleared from floors and landing surfaces
- Equipment secured, stowed, or powered down per procedure
- Today's flagged items have maintenance entries opened
- First aid and rescue equipment restocked if used today
- Exits clear; doors, gates and access points secured
The recurring program
The work above the daily walk. Each task surfaces on the day it is due and escalates as it goes overdue. Where a check addresses a published designation, the citation chip names it; a chip is a reference, never a compliance claim.
Weekly
Course reset & setter sign-off
After the rebuild, walk every lane: fastener torque at obstacle-to-truss connections, pins and clips seated on every adjustable element, crash pads re-centered with seams joined. The setter who reset the course signs it back into service. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Hanging hardware inspection · shackles, quick links & slings
Work through hanging hardware by batch: gates close and thread fully, no deformation or wear past gauge marks, slings free of cuts and glazing. Record pulls and replacements against the batch. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Obstacle grip & wear check
Check grip surfaces, ropes, boards, and holds lane by lane: cracking, splinters, spinning holds, worn texture. Clean chalk buildup and record anything pulled from the floor. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Monthly
Truss & rig connection inspection
Inspect truss members, bolted connections, clamps, and base plates on a rotating section of the rig; torque-check per the schedule and record readings. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Crash pad & landing mat condition inspection
Full pad walk: compression and dead spots, cover and zipper condition, seam and velcro integrity, placement against the current course map. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Kids' course scaled-obstacle check
Verify junior-course obstacle heights, scaled grips, and pad coverage against the posted configuration for the age groups you run. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Quarterly
Hanging hardware batch & retirement review
Review every hardware batch against in-service dates and retire-by dates; pull aging batches from the floor before they pass their limits and record the disposition. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Emergency action plan walkthrough
Walk the EAP with staff on shift: response to a fall, lane shutdown steps, exits, and the incident documentation flow. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Every 6 months
Staff training & spotter review
Confirm current training records for every active coach and setter (spotting, reset sign-off, and obstacle-specific coaching); schedule refreshers before anything lapses. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Yearly
Full rig & structural inspection (qualified person)
Full inspection of trusses, rigs, anchors, warped walls, and platforms by a qualified person; file the report against this task and open corrective items for anything cited. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.

The manufacturer’s documentation governs
Where a manufacturer's documentation sets an inspection type or an interval for a piece of equipment, that documentation governs. The pack's cadences are a program to build on, not a replacement: when the two differ, Telure shows the difference so it can be seen and documented, and the recorded schedule follows the manufacturer.
Where Telure stands
The Telure Standard is Telure's own curated program. Telure is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any standards body or association named here, and adopting the Telure Standard does not make a facility compliant with, approved under, or certified to any standard. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs inspection types and intervals.
