1.1This practice establishes criteria for the design of amusement rides, devices and major modifications to amusement rides and devices manufactured after the effective date of publication except as noted in 1.2.
1.2This practice in its entirety shall not apply to the following:
1.2.1Playground equipment designed to comply with Performance Specification F2373 or F1487;
1.2.2Climbing walls designed to comply with published, industry recognized climbing wall standards;
1.2.3Soft play equipment designed to comply with Performance Specification F1918;
1.2.4Reserved;
1.2.5Rides that are activated by a patron, deactivate automatically, do not require a restraint or restraints, and do not require the supervision or services of a trained operator to mitigate operational risks (examples: simple coin operated rides and arcade games with motion components);
1.2.6Reserved;
1.2.7Amusement rides and devices whose design criteria are specifically addressed in another ASTM standard under the jurisdiction of committee F24;
1.2.8Portions of an amusement ride or device unaffected by a major modification;
1.2.9Upgrades to electrical wiring, electrical motors and electrical components of amusement rides and devices provided the original design and safety criteria are maintained or enhanced; and
1.2.10Pre-existing designs manufactured after the effective date of publication of this practice if the design is service proven or previously compliant and the manufacturer provides:
1.2.10.1A historical summary of the amusement ride, device or major modification, and
1.2.10.2A statement that the design is service proven or previously compliant as specified by Section 3.
1.2.10.3Amusement rides and devices, and major modifications to amusement rides and devices have the potential to qualify as “previously compliant” for five years following the date of publication of this practice. Thereafter, amusement rides and devices, and major modifications to amusement rides and devices must qualify as “service proven” or meet the requirements of this practice.
1.3This practice includes an annex (mandatory), which provides additional information (for example, rationale, background, interpretations, drawings, commentary, and so forth) to improve the user's understanding and application of the criteria presented in this practice. The annex information shall be interpreted as mandatory design criteria.
1.4This practice includes an appendix (non-mandatory), which provides additional information (for example, rationale, background, interpretations, drawings, commentary, and so forth.) to improve the user's understanding and application of the criteria presented in this practice. The appendix information shall not be interpreted as mandatory design criteria.
1.5Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
