European foreword
This document (prEN 13814-3:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 152
“Fairground and amusement park machinery and structures - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held
by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13814-3:2019+A1:2024.
In comparison with EN 13814-3:2019+A1:2024, this document has been updated to incorporate new
terms for the persons attending a theme park of fairground. Checking the existence of an OURA by the
inspection body has been added. A section of function testing (FAT and SAT) has been added. A section
on Installation examination has been added. Finally, cross references to parts 1 and 2 have been updated.
EN 13814 consists of the following parts, under the general title “Safety of amusement rides and
amusement devices”:
— Part 1: Design and Manufacture
— Part 2: Operation, Maintenance and Use
— Part 3: Requirements for inspection during design, manufacture, operation and use
1 Scope
This document defines requirements for the necessary independent inspections of amusement devices
designed, manufactured, operated and used according to prEN 13814-1:2026 and prEN 13814-2:2026.

4 Requirements
4.1 Initial approval - Procedures
4.1.1 General
The initial approval of any amusement device consists of review, inspections and tests to be carried out
as follows.
The inspection body performing the initial approval shall operate in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17020.
All safety-relevant design documents as well as the completed amusement device shall be subjected to
review and inspection. After a successful inspection, a document confirming compliance with
prEN 13814-1:2026 and prEN 13814-3:2026 should be issued.
The results of the various reviews, inspections and tests shall become an integral part of the amusement
device log.
The initial approval of the amusement device shall comprise:
— design review;
— inspection of manufacturing process;
— initial inspection and testing; and
— check the presence of an OURA prior to opening to the public, and that any required mitigations are
included in the operations manual.
4.1.2 Functional Testing
Functional testing can be performed in the following way:
a) Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): Test performed at the manufacturer's site before the delivery to the
customer according to the manufacturer's FAT plan.
b) Site Acceptance Test (SAT). The Site Acceptance Test is performed directly at the customer's site
according to the manufacturer's SAT plan after a successful Factory Acceptance Test. If the FAT
cannot be performed due to large dimensions, special needs or other issues, the SAT can be
performed without a FAT providing there is a written justification.
Documents describing the content of these tests are defined as follows:
i) A FAT Plan is a document providing a list and sequence of tests which can guarantee safety
requirements of the applicable standards before the delivery to the customer.
ii) A SAT Plan is a document providing a list and sequence of tests which can guarantee the safety
requirements of the applicable standards after the installation in the customer site.
NOTE FAT and SAT Plans could be different.
4.1.3 Review of design documents
The review of design documents is an inspection of relevant design documents.
The design documents shall be, where relevant, reviewed, checked and accepted by an independent body
for:
— completeness;
— correctness of all the assumptions with respect to the input values for any analyses;
— correctness of all calculations;
— compliance with applicable standards and specifications.
The design documents shall include where relevant:
— design risk assessment;
— design calculations;
— stress and fatigue analysis;
— stability verification;
— structural and mechanical parts;
— hydraulic and pneumatic parts;
— drive units, bearings;
— brakes and safety devices;
— design drawings;
— acceleration/containment details;
— hydraulic/pneumatic specification;
— electrical/electronic specification including software details;
— mechanical/structural specification;
— installation, operation, maintenance and inspection information.
See prEN 13814-1:2026, 4.3 for the principles of structural analysis.
4.1.4 Inspection of manufacturing process
4.1.4.1 Description
The inspection of the hereafter stated manufacturing requirements shall be made, when appropriate,
during the manufacturing process and completed before operation with users. As a general requirement,
the compliance of the parts, assemblies, components as well as their assembly and combined effects
within the entire installation shall be confirmed with respect to the approved design documents.
This shall be covered by a report which confirms correctness and suitability of the employed materials
and correctness of assembly.
The report may make reference to the manufacturer’s inspection documents qual
