Varnost naprav in opreme v zabaviščnih parkih - 1. del: Načrtovanje in izdelava (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta dokument določa minimalne zahteve, ki so nujne za zagotavljanje varnega načrtovanja, izračunavanja, izdelovanja in nameščanja mobilnih, začasnih ali stalno nameščenih strojev in konstrukcij, ki so namenjene za prostočasne dejavnosti ljudi, na primer vrtiljaki, gugalnice, ladje, razgledna kolesa, vlakci, drče, kabine, stranski odri in konstrukcije za umetniške predstave v zraku. Zgoraj omenjene konstrukcije so v nadaljevanju imenovane oprema v zabaviščnih parkih, ki je namenjena tako za večkratno nameščanje brez degradacije ali izgube celovitosti kot tudi za začasno ali stalno nameščanje v zabaviščih in zabaviščnih parkih ali na kateri koli drugi lokaciji. Tribune, gradbiščne konstrukcije, odri, odstranljive kmetijske konstrukcije, preproste naprave na kovance v zabaviščnih parkih, ki so namenjene za največ tri otroke, in rekreacijske naprave, kot so vodni tobogani ali poletna sankališča, oprema otroških igrišč, vrvni plezalni parki, plezalne stene, napihljiva igrala, trampolini in oprema bazenov (ta seznam ni popoln), niso zajeti v tem dokumentu.
Za vso opremo, ki ni zajeta v zahtevah standarda EN 13814 1, se uporabljajo ustrezni standardi.
Kljub temu je mogoče ta dokument uporabiti pri načrtovanju podobnih konstrukcij ali nosilnih naprav v zabaviščnih parkih, ki tukaj niso izrecno omenjene.
V zvezi z zdravjem in varnostjo delavcev veljajo nacionalni predpisi.
Ta dokument se uporablja za izdelavo ter večje spremembe naprav in opreme v zabaviščnih parkih, izdelanih po njegovi objavi.

Overview - EN 13814-1:2019+A1:2024 (Design & Manufacture)

EN 13814-1:2019+A1:2024 is the CEN European standard for the safety of amusement rides and amusement devices - Part 1: Design and manufacture. It sets minimum requirements for safe design, calculation, manufacture and installation of mobile, temporary or permanently installed amusement machinery and structures intended for use by persons (e.g., roundabouts, swings, ferris wheels, roller coasters, chutes, booths and aerial display structures). The standard applies to designs published after the effective date and includes Amendment A1 (2024). Certain items (playgrounds, simple coin-operated children’s devices, waterslides, grandstands, scaffolding, etc.) are explicitly excluded; for those, relevant standards apply. National workplace health & safety regulations remain applicable.

Key topics and technical requirements

EN 13814-1 covers a broad set of technical and safety topics crucial to ride design and manufacture:

  • Design documentation & risk assessment - requirements for technical drawings, design risk assessments and descriptions of design and operation.
  • Material selection - guidance for steels, aluminium alloys, timber, composites, concrete and fasteners.
  • Design loads & load combinations - permanent and variable actions, seismic considerations and applicable coefficients.
  • Structural analysis & verification - principles for static and dynamic analysis, strength and stability (overturning, sliding, lifting).
  • Ground anchorage & foundations - design, calculation and testing of anchors and ground support.
  • Fatigue, joint and bolt design - verification for fluctuating stresses, bolted connections and components subject to cyclic loading.
  • Corrosion protection & constructability - design for durability, accessibility, removable joints and routine dismantling.
  • Risk reduction measures - platforms, barriers, guarding, passenger units and special provisions for different ride types (vertical, horizontal, rail-guided, dodgems, flume rides, etc.).
  • Mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems - integration and safety of control systems (Annex A covers electrical equipment and control systems).
  • Manufacture, QA and supply - manufacturer responsibilities, quality plans, manufacturing processes, manuals, technical dossiers and the Amusement Device Log.

Practical applications

  • Use this standard to design and certify new amusement rides or to evaluate major modifications.
  • Apply it during concept design, structural analysis, procurement of components, factory acceptance and handover to operators.
  • Essential for producing the official technical dossier, operator manuals and the Amusement Device Log required for safe operation and inspection regimes.

Who should use this standard

  • Ride designers and structural/mechanical engineers
  • Manufacturers and fabricators of amusement devices
  • Amusement park owners, installers and ride operators
  • Notified bodies, conformity assessors and safety inspectors
  • Asset managers preparing technical dossiers and logs

Related standards and notes

  • EN 13814-1 is part of the EN 13814 series; consult the full series and other sector-specific standards for items excluded from this Part (playgrounds, waterslides, etc.).
  • Follow national occupational health and safety regulations in addition to EN 13814-1 for worker safety and installation practices.

Keywords: EN 13814-1, safety of amusement rides, design and manufacture, amusement devices standard, CEN, ride design, structural analysis, risk assessment.

1 Scope
This document specifies the minimum requirements necessary to ensure the safe design, calculation,
manufacture, and installation of mobile, temporary or permanently installed machinery and structures
which are intended for use by persons as a leisure activity, e.g. roundabouts, swings, boats, ferris
wheels, roller coasters, chutes, booths, side shows, and structures for artistic aerial displays. The above
items are hereafter called amusement devices, which are intended to be installed both repeatedly
without degradation or loss of integrity, and temporarily or permanently in fairgrounds and
amusement parks or any other locations. Grandstands, construction site installations, scaffolding,
removable agricultural structures, simple coin operated children's amusement devices, carrying up to
three children, and recreational devices like waterslides or summer toboggan runs, playground
equipment, rope courses, climbing wall, inflatable, trampolines, swimming pool equipment (this list is
not exhaustive) are not covered by this document.
For all the equipment not covered by the requirements of EN 13814-1, the relevant standards apply.
Nevertheless this document can be used in the design of any similar structural or passenger carrying
amusement device not explicitly mentioned herein.
In terms of workers’ health and safety, national regulations apply.
This document is applicable to manufacturing and major modification of amusement devices and rides
for designs after the effective date of publication.
