Overview

ISO 17842-3:2022 defines the minimum requirements for independent inspections of amusement rides and amusement devices during design, manufacture, operation and use. It applies to devices designed and manufactured in accordance with ISO 17842-1 and operated per ISO 17842-2. The document clarifies procedures for initial approval, pre-use review, in-service (periodical) inspection and installation examination, and requires inspection bodies to operate in accordance with ISO/IEC 17020.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Initial approval procedures
  • Design review of safety-relevant documents: design risk assessment, calculations, stress/fatigue analysis, structural/mechanical, hydraulic/pneumatic, electrical/electronic (including software) and installation/maintenance information.
  • Inspection of manufacturing process: verify dimensions, component presence, weight assumptions, material certificates, welding procedure conformity, and suitability of assemblies. Reports must reference manufacturer inspection records and form part of the amusement device log.
  • Initial inspection and testing: functional tests unloaded and under full load, unbalanced load tests per ISO 17842-1, checks on clearances, control systems, brakes, hydraulic/pneumatic pressures, electrical supply and safety devices.
• Pre-use inspection and review
  • Independent review and checks before first passenger use; documentation of findings and conformity statements to ISO 17842-1 and ISO 17842-2 become part of the device log.
• In-service inspection (periodical test)
  • Purpose: confirm fitness for continued safe operation and identify deterioration of safety-related components.
  • Frequency: at least annual where no national rules specify otherwise; more frequent inspections may be agreed.
  • Process: visual inspection supplemented by non‑destructive testing (NDT) as required (see device manual/amusement device log); inspection body obtains maintenance history, incident reports, and agrees inspection scope with the controller.
  • Typical checks: structural deformities, corrosion, wear, welds/bolts/pins, exposed safety components, and electrical fire-risk areas.
• Installation examination
  • Added to 2022 revision: extent and procedures for on-site installation checks.

Applications - Who Uses This Standard

• Inspection bodies and conformity assessment organizations performing independent inspections.
• Manufacturers and designers for compliance during design review and manufacturing inspection.
• Operators / controllers of amusement rides to meet legal and safety obligations and to maintain the device log.
• Regulators and auditors setting inspection regimes or verifying compliance.
• Maintenance and NDT technicians using the standard to plan periodic testing and repairs.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
