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Note—This ASTM Standard has been developed to replace CAN/CSA Z267-00 (R2011), which is being withdrawn as an active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 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
• Unclassified Amusement Rides and Devices Standard (for example, Zip Lines, Bungee Type Devices,
Gravity or Patron Controlled Non-mechanical Spherical Devices and Extreme Thrill Devices).
This standard is structured such that Section 2.1 listings of Core Standards capture the essential and broad safety
requirements for all amusement rides and devices. Section 2.2 listings of Supporting Standards are intended to
complement in design of all amusement rides and devices where applicable. Section 2.3 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 2.4 listing of Unclassified Amusement Rides and
Devices Standards captures general essential safety requirements for new amusement rides or devices that have yet
to be regulated but have recently appeared within the public domain for use in conjunction with Core Standards and
Supporting Standards.
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.
