1、Designation:F278317Standard Practice forDesign,Manufacture,Operation,Maintenance,andInspection of Amusement Rides and Devices,in Canada1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2783;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of
2、revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.NoteThis ASTM Standard has been developed to replace CAN/CSA Z267-00(R2011),which is being withdrawn as an active
3、CSA Standard.INTRODUCTIONThe Canadian Standards Association(CSA)and the American Society for Testing Materials(ASTM)have pavedthe way for the development of newASTM amusement device standards,introducing uniform safety criteria for bothCanada and the United States of America.Seeking to gain a level
4、of consistency and eliminate much duplication,CSA and ASTM struck a subcommitteeto develop a new ASTM F24 standard,a comprehensive,one-volume document,that provides a mechanism to:adapt F24 standards to Canadian needs;provide greater two way communication between CSA and ASTM;and facilitate adoption
5、 by Canadian provinces and territories.This one-source standard replaces the current CSAZ267 Safety Code forAmusement Rides and Devices.As CSAZ267 was primarily based on the ASTM F24 Family of Standards,Practice F2783 is a realignment of those coreessentials with new sections tailor-made for Canada.
6、Categorized in four distinct sections,the standard includes:Core Standards(for example,Terminology,Design,Manufacture,Operation,Maintenance,and Inspection);Supporting Standards(for example,Measuring Ride Dynamics and Hardness of Composite Foam);Specific Classification of Amusement Rides and Devices
7、Standards(for example,Go-Karts,Water Slides,Inflatables and Trains);and Other Standards(other standards used to support amusement device design).This standard is structured such that Section 2.2 listings of Core Standards capture the essential and broad safetyrequirements for all amusement rides and
8、 devices.Section 2.3 listings of Supporting Standards are intended tocomplement in design of all amusement rides and devices where applicable.Section 2.4 listings of SpecificClassification of Amusement rides and Devices Standards capture supplemental requirements in addition to CoreStandards for ano
9、malous amusement rides and devices.Section 2.5 listing Other Standards used to supportamusement device design.To provide greater application within Canada,Practice F2783 also incorporates specific sections that include:Standards Cross Referencing Table;Substitutions;Exceptions;and Additional Require
10、ments.This unique initiative would not have been possible were it not for the active collaboration of the CSA Z267 andthe ASTM F24.80 Harmonization Committees,representative of a diverse stakeholder base,including delegatesfrom government(regulators),manufacturers,engineers,park owners/operators as
11、well as general and consumerinterests.Practice F2783 is supported by Canadian provincial and territorial regulators and amusement device stakeholders,the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions(IAAPA),CSA and ASTM.This standard has been printed in Canadas two official languages.
