Overview

ASTM F2783-20 is the Standard Practice for the Design, Manufacture, Operation, Maintenance, and Inspection of Amusement Rides and Devices in Canada, published by ASTM International. This standard adopts and tailors the ASTM F24 Committee's family of standards to meet Canadian requirements, providing an organized framework for ensuring amusement ride safety across the country. By replacing the former CAN/CSA Z267 standard, ASTM F2783-20 delivers harmonized criteria for inspectors, designers, manufacturers, operators, and regulators in Canada’s amusement devices industry.

Key Topics

ASTM F2783-20 covers the entire lifecycle of amusement rides and devices, focusing on the critical processes necessary to maintain safety and compliance. Key areas addressed in the standard include:

• Terminology: Provides consistent definitions for terms used across ASTM F24 standards, ensuring clear communication between stakeholders.
• Design: Outlines essential requirements and references the use of Practice F2291 for amusement ride design. It also provides mechanisms for substitution with Canadian-specific standards and addresses additional requirements unique to Canada.
• Manufacture: Sets expectations for quality procedures and documentation in manufacturing, referencing related ASTM and Canadian standards where applicable.
• Operation, Maintenance, and Inspection: Specifies protocols for safe operation, regular maintenance, and thorough inspection to ensure ongoing safety and reliability.
• Auditing: Addresses systematic auditing of amusement rides and devices to verify compliance.
• Cross-reference and Substitution: Provides clear guidance for substituting equivalent local, national, or international codes and standards in the Canadian context when required.
• Annexes and Appendices: Includes both mandatory and non-mandatory annexes for background, rationale, commentary, and practical interpretation, supporting effective application of the standard.
• Certification: Recognizes required certification marks and regulatory approvals relevant in Canadian jurisdictions.

Applications

ASTM F2783-20 is intended for a broad range of stakeholders within the Canadian amusement industry, including:

• Designers and Engineers: Use this standard to ensure that all design work aligns with both ASTM and Canadian regulatory requirements.
• Manufacturers: Reference manufacturing procedures and quality controls mandated by ASTM F2783-20 to produce compliant amusement rides and devices.
• Owners and Operators: Apply operation, maintenance, and inspection protocols outlined in the standard to minimize safety risk and maximize uptime.
• Inspectors and Auditors: Conduct consistent inspections and audits according to harmonized criteria, supporting ride safety and regulatory requirements.
• Regulators and Authorities Having Jurisdiction: Utilize the standard as a reference point for provincial and territorial adoption and enforcement, while respecting local codes that may take precedence in case of conflicts.

By standardizing procedures from design to ongoing operation, ASTM F2783-20 enhances public safety, encourages uniformity, and streamlines regulatory compliance in the Canadian amusement sector.

Related Standards

ASTM F2783-20 integrates and refers to a comprehensive network of other standards, notably:

• ASTM F24 Committee Core Standards: Including F747 (Terminology), F770 (Ownership, Operation, Maintenance, and Inspection), F1193 (Quality, Manufacture, Construction), F2291 (Design), F2974 (Auditing).
• Supporting Standards: Such as F1957 (Composite Foam Hardness), F2137 (Dynamic Characteristics), and F2375 (Climbing Nets).
• Standards for Specific Ride Types: Including F2007 (Go-Karts), F2374 (Inflatables), F2460 (Bumper Boats), F2959 (Aerial Adventure Courses), and others tailored to specialized equipment.
• Other Referenced Standards: Canadian Building Codes, electrical and welding standards (e.g., CSA, NBCC), as well as relevant ISO, IEC, and EN documents for specific components or applications.

For comprehensive compliance, users should always consult the latest edition of ASTM F2783-20 and the referenced supporting standards as applicable to their operations.

INTRODUCTION
The Canadian StandardsAssociation (CSA) and theAmerican Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) have paved
thewayforthedevelopmentofnewASTMamusementdevicestandards,introducinguniformsafetycriteriaforboth
Canada and the United States of America.
Seeking to gain a level of consistency and eliminate much duplication, CSA and ASTM struck a subcommittee
to 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 by Canadian provinces and territories.
Thisone-sourcestandardreplacesthecurrentCSAZ267SafetyCodeforAmusementRidesandDevices.AsCSA
Z267 was primarily based on the ASTM F24 Family of Standards, Practice F2783 is a realignment of those core
essentials with new sections tailor-made for Canada. 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 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 safety
requirements for all amusement rides and devices. Section 2.3 listings of Supporting Standards are intended to
complement in design of all amusement rides and devices where applicable. Section 2.4 listings of Specific
Classification of Amusement rides and Devices Standards capture supplemental requirements in addition to Core
Standards for anomalous amusement rides and devices. Section 2.5 listing Other Standards used to support
amusement device design.
To provide greater application within Canada, Practice F2783 also incorporates specific sections that include:
Standards Cross Referencing Table; Substitutions; Exceptions; and Additional Requirements.
This unique initiative would not have been possible were it not for the active collaboration of the CSAZ267 and
the ASTM F24.80 Harmonization Committees, representative of a diverse stakeholder base, including delegates
from government (regulators), manufacturers, engineers, park owners/operators as well as general and consumer
interests.
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 Canada’s two official languages.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: F2783 − 17 F2783 − 20
Standard Practice for
Design, Manufacture, Operation, Maintenance, and
Inspection of Amusement Rides and Devices, in Canada
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2783; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
Note—This ASTM Standard has been developed to replace CAN/CSA Z267-00 (R2011), which is being withdrawn as an active
CSA Standard.
INTRODUCTION
The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) have paved
the way for the development of new ASTM amusement device standards, introducing uniform safety criteria for both
Canada and the United States of America.
Seeking to gain a level of consistency and eliminate much duplication, CSA and ASTM struck a subcommittee
to 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 by Canadian provinces and territories.
This one-source standard replaces the current CSA Z267 Safety Code for Amusement Rides and Devices. As CSA
Z267 was primarily based on the ASTM F24 Family of Standards, Practice F2783 is a realignment of those core
essentials with new sections tailor-made for Canada. 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 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 safety
requirements for all amusement rides and devices. Section 2.3 listings of Supporting Standards are intended to
complement in design of all amusement rides and devices where applicable. Section 2.4 listings of Specific
Classification of Amusement rides and Devices Standards capture supplemental requirements in addition to Core
Standards for anomalous amusement rides and devices. Section 2.5 listing Other Standards used to support
amusement device design.
To provide greater application within Canada, Practice F2783 also incorporates specific sections that include:
Standards Cross Referencing Table; Substitutions; Exceptions; and Additional Requirements.
This unique initiative would not have been possible were it not for the active collaboration of the CSA Z267 and
the ASTM F24.80 Harmonization Committees, representative of a diverse stakeholder base, including delegates
from government (regulators), manufacturers, engineers, park owners/operators as well as general and consumer
interests.
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 Canada’s two official languages.
