BS EN 13814-1:2019 pdf free download.Safety of amusement rides and amusement devices – Part 1: Design and manufacture.
BS EN 13814-1:2019 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.
The object of this document is to define safety rules related to structures and machinery, which are either an integral part of, or constitute the amusement device itself. The safety rules are intended to safeguard persons against the risk of accidents caused by deficiencies in design, manufacture and
operation of such structures and machinery.
Annex A (normative ) provides guidance on electrical equipment and control systems;
Annex B (informative ) provides control systems-best practices;
Annex C (informative ) provides guidance of passenger containment;
Annex D (informative) shows a typical layout of a device log for an amusement device;
Annex E (informative) lists hazards pertaining to amusement rides;
Annex F(informative) provides guidance on guest behaviour;
Annex G (informative) provides guidance on the limited accessibility to amusement devices;
Annex H (informative) provides guidance on the safety envelope for passengers;
Annex I (informative) explains acceleration effects on passengers;
The design documents include all the documents required for the assessment of the stability and operational safety of the amusement device, including the Design Risk Assessment (DRA).They shall be available for any subsequent approval by the independent inspection bodies. These documents shall encompass all the design conditions pertaining to the operation of the amusement devices or structures. A description of the construction, operation and operational safety, design drawings and a comprehensive stress, fatigue and stability analysis as specified in 4.1.4 are required for this purpose.
The amusement device, in particular its design, modes of operation and its structure shall be explained in this description. Adequate details of mechanical,(hydraulic, pneumatic)electrical and electronic equipment, including the control system shall be described. The description shall include details of the particular features of the amusement device and of any alternative modes of installation which may exist. Also details of the main dimension motion spaces extending beyond these dimensions, limitations, design particulars and materials, motion systems, types of drive, velocities, accelerations, electrical equipment, work cycle, operating sequence and any restrictions regarding the circle of users which may exist. shall be described.
