Overview

CEN/TS 17959:2023 - Safety of amusement rides and devices: Manufacturing quality recommendations for machinery components provides a method to assign minimum acceptable manufacturing quality requirements to metallic machinery components used in amusement rides. It is intended to guide designers, manufacturers and inspectors when selecting quality controls that reduce the risk of component failure. Bonded plastic-composite assemblies are explicitly excluded. The Technical Specification complements EN 13814-1:2019 and is valid provisionally for an initial three-year period.

Key topics

  • Quality Grade (QG) method: Components and sub‑components are classified into three Quality Grades (QG 1, QG 2, QG 3) based on the risk of failure and loading conditions (static vs dynamic). The document includes flow diagrams to select the appropriate QG.
  • Risk-based criteria: The QG selection accounts for severity of harm, likelihood of failure, redundancy and detectability during preventive maintenance. Established analysis techniques such as FMEA, FMECA and FTA are recommended for likelihood evaluation.
  • Sub-components and assemblies: Guidance covers formed and machined parts, bonded assemblies, machined-bonded assemblies and fastening/fitting elements. Interfaces (for example welds) may require the higher QG applicable to the connected parts.
  • Commercial (off-the-shelf) parts: Suppliers must confirm intended use when the required QG is QG 2 or QG 3. For bolted connections, detectability within inspection intervals can permit lowering bolt QG by one level if safety is maintained.
  • Quality controls and documentation: The TS links manufacturing quality to traceability, inspection documentation and non‑destructive testing (NDT) while referencing established standards for testing, inspection certificates and material delivery documentation.

Applications and users

Who uses CEN/TS 17959:2023:

  • Designers and structural engineers who must specify minimum manufacturing quality as part of risk mitigation for ride components.
  • Fabricators and manufacturers of steel, aluminium and cast components who need to apply appropriate NDT, traceability and inspection practices.
  • Third‑party inspectors, conformity assessment bodies and maintenance teams that evaluate component fitness for service and inspect redundant systems or bolted joints.
  • Park operators and procurement teams when defining supplier requirements and maintenance inspection intervals.

Practical uses:

  • Assigning QG to new or existing machinery components.
  • Defining supplier declarations, inspection frequency and acceptance criteria for critical parts.
  • Integrating manufacturing quality requirements into design specifications and maintenance schedules.

Introduction
This document was prepared with reference to EN 13814-1:2019, 5.4.1, 5.4.1.1.
When designing components for an amusement device it is important to take into account the intended
quality of the manufactured and installed parts. The manufacturing quality requirements will vary
depending upon the consequences in case of a failure of the component. For example, a component whose
failure could cause serious injury of a passenger would have a high quality level, to ensure that the risk
of material failure (such as raw material quality and treatment) can be reduced to a tolerable level. The
intent of this document is to propose a method which enables the designer to be guided as to what should
be the minimum applicable quality requirements for each of the parameters listed. Three quality grades
(QG) are defined here.
The manufacturing quality requirements are identified as an integral part of risk mitigation.
If the standards used for the design already reference quality requirements, these quality requirements
should be used as long as they are at least equivalent to quality requirements used in this document.
1 Scope
This document provides a method on how to assign minimum acceptable manufacturing quality
requirements to amusement device metallic components which have been classified as machinery
components. Bonded assemblies made in plastic composites are excluded from this scope. Quality
