Standard Guide for Testing Performance of Amusement Rides and Devices (Withdrawn 2013)
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The purpose of this guide is to establish pertinent test data on a given ride or device which shall be used as the basis for the evaluation of the ride or device's performance, including developmental testing, installation testing, and operational testing.
This guide is intended for the use of manufacturers, owners/operators, and those persons or agencies involved in the installation and operational testing of amusement rides and devices.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers the basic tests which shall be conducted on amusement rides and devices during prototype development, installation or erection, following major modifications, and during normal operation to determine that the performance of a given ride or device meets the manufacturer's specified design criteria.
Note 1—The following standards developed by Committee F24 contain information relative to this guide: Specification F 698, Practices E 1212, F 1193, and F 770, Terminology E 1316, and Terminology F 747.
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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This guide covers the basic tests which shall be conducted on amusement rides and devices during prototype development, installation or erection, following major modifications, and during normal operation to determine that the performance of a given ride or device meets the manufacturer’s specified design criteria.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F24 on Amusement Rides and Devices, this guide was withdrawn without replacement in August 2013 because information contained within this standard can be found in other F24 standards.
