Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides and Devices that are Outside the Purview of Other F24 Design Standards
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This practice provides designers/engineers of amusement rides and devices not addressed in the other ASTM Committee F24 standards with design references and criteria to use in design development.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice establishes information and procedures for the design of amusement rides and devices and major modifications to amusement rides and devices which the designer/engineer identifies as outside the purview of other ASTM F24 design standards.
1.1.1 Prior to designating an amusement ride or device as outside the purview of other ASTM F24 standards and subject to Practice F1159-16, the designer/engineer shall perform a review of all standards under the jurisdiction of the ASTM Committee F24 addressing amusement ride and device design and determine that Practice F1159-16 is appropriate and more applicable to the amusement ride or device than other ASTM Committee F24 practices addressing amusement ride and device design.
1.1.2 In making such a determination, the designer/engineer shall consider the following:
1.1.2.1 The general nature of the amusement ride or device;
1.1.2.2 The absence of relevant specific requirements or features addressed by other ASTM Committee F24 practices.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM F1159-16e1: Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides and Devices that are Outside the Purview of Other F24 Design Standards provides essential design guidance for amusement rides and devices not specifically addressed by other ASTM F24 standards. Developed by ASTM International, this standard enables engineers and designers to reference established criteria when developing new or unique amusement rides or making major modifications where existing standards do not apply. By following recognized international standardization principles, ASTM F1159-16e1 helps ensure quality, consistency, and enhanced safety in the amusement industry.
Key Topics
Applicability Determination
Designers must first confirm that no other ASTM F24 standard is more suitable. This includes:- Reviewing all relevant ASTM F24 documents.
- Assessing the general nature of the ride or device.
- Ensuring no specific requirements in other F24 practices fully address the project.
General Design and Documentation
Key design aspects reference other foundational practices to ensure safe, reliable, and well-documented products:- Engineering analyses and documentation as outlined in ASTM F2291.
- Record keeping and testing procedures per ASTM F1193 and F2291.
Critical Structural and System Elements
Includes specific references to industry-leading practices for:- Structural design and fastening methods.
- Mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems.
- Welding and adhesive bonding.
- Fall protection, coatings, and machine safety guards.
- Operator controls, brakes, and fencing.
Patron Safety and Containment
Focuses on essential guidelines for:- Patron restraint and clearance envelope.
- Containment systems to minimize risk.
Sanitation and Acceleration Limits
Provides standards for:- Sanitation and disinfection requirements.
- Defining safe limits for ride acceleration.
International Compliance
Aligned with World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee principles, supporting global acceptance.
Applications
ASTM F1159-16e1 is vital when designing amusement rides and devices that fall outside the scope of other ASTM F24 standards, including:
- Innovative or Custom Rides
When developing new concepts or one-of-a-kind attractions, where existing standards do not specifically apply. - Major Modifications
When substantial modifications alter the use or function of an existing ride, and the changes are not addressed in other F24 standards. - International Markets
Provides a robust framework for global operators and manufacturers striving for compliance with widely recognized industry norms. - Manufacturers and Engineers
Supports engineering teams seeking reliable reference points for safety, documentation, and installation of unique amusement attractions.
This standard benefits amusement ride manufacturers, designers, engineers, operators, and regulatory bodies in ensuring safe and effective design where direct standard coverage does not exist.
Related Standards
For comprehensive design and manufacturing guidance, users may also consult these closely associated ASTM standards:
- ASTM F1193 - Practice for Quality, Manufacture, and Construction of Amusement Rides and Devices.
- ASTM F2291 - Practice for Design of Amusement Rides and Devices.
These standards provide supplemental design requirements and quality management systems, and are frequently referenced by ASTM F1159-16e1 to support thorough, standards-compliant amusement ride development.
