F24.20 - Specifications and Terminology

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The scope of the Committee F24 is the development of standard methods of testing, performance specifications, definitions, standard methods of maintenance and operations, and best practices for amusement rides and devices. The work of this Committee F24 will be coordinated with other ASTM Committees and other societies and organizations having mutual interest.  
4.2 The intent of this standard guide is to serve as an overview for F24 standards and to outline processes and procedures to manage the lifecycle of an amusement ride or device. Persons looking for more details on an individual type of amusement ride or device should reference the specific standards available. See Appendix X1.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide provides an overview of the appropriate F24 standard(s) to be applied during development and operation and use phases of an amusement ride or device.  
1.2 This guide sets forth procedures for owners, operators, designers, engineers, manufacturers, vendors, and suppliers to apply throughout the lifecycle of an amusement ride or device.  
1.3 This guide sets forth procedures for assessing and managing the end of operational life for an amusement ride or device, sub-system or component.  
1.4 This guide includes an appendix, which provides additional information to improve the understanding and application of the criteria presented in this standard guide.  
1.5 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 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.

SCOPE
1.1 This terminology is a repository of terms approved by Committee F24 and its subcommittees. Reproducing terms approved within all other individual F24 standards and guides, this terminology will provide a single location where terms related to amusement rides and devices are freely accessible to the public, committee members and can be maintained, updated and utilized as effective communication tools. Although published alphabetically, terms unique to a specific F24 standard or guide are indicated as such by the reference which follows the applicable term.
