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.

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.

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.
