(Practice)Standard Practice for Characterization of Fire Properties of Materials Specified for Vehicles Associated with Amusement Rides and Devices
Standard Practice for Characterization of Fire Properties of Materials Specified for Vehicles Associated with Amusement Rides and Devices
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice is intended for use whenever the characterization of fire properties for materials specified for vehicles associated with amusement rides and devices are to be determined. The existence of this practice is not intended to imply that there is a requirement to perform specific testing on amusement rides or devices.
4.2 The purpose of this practice is to provide designers, engineers, manufacturers, owners, and operators with criteria and references for materials specified for vehicles associated with amusement rides and devices or a major modification of an amusement ride or device.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers material properties related to flammability, smoke products and heat release rates for materials specified for vehicles associated with amusement rides and devices.
1.2 This practice also defines specific requirements for standardized test methods for determining material properties related to flammability, smoke production and heat release rates for materials specified for vehicles associated with amusement rides and devices.
1.3 This practice defines acceptance criteria for the material properties of flammability, smoke production and heat release rates for seating, upholstery and padding materials specified for vehicles on amusement rides and devices.
1.4 This practice includes an appendix (non-mandatory), which provides additional information (for example, rationale, background, interpretations, drawings, commentary, and so forth) to improve the user’s understanding and application of the criteria presented in this practice. The appendix information shall not be interpreted as mandatory design criteria.
1.5 This practice shall not apply to:
1.5.1 Materials specified for amusement rides or devices not associated with the vehicle.
1.5.2 Materials used for the construction of facilities.
1.5.3 Fluids and lubricants.
1.5.4 Mats used on water slides or other aquatic devices.
1.6 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.
1.7 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.
