Standard Guide for Auditing Amusement Rides and Devices
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this guide is to establish guidelines for audits of amusement rides and devices.
4.2 An audit can include inspections, evaluations, or examinations during the design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, operation, or major modification of an amusement ride or device.
4.3 When audits are performed, they shall occur during the relevant stages of an amusement ride or device’s design, manufacture, installation, commissioning or major modification. This guide does not require recurring design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, or major modification audits.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide establishes guidelines for auditing conformance to ASTM Committee F24 Standards during an audit of an amusement ride or device within a defined scope.
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.
1.3 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.
