Safety reference
BSI currently lists BS EN 13814-1:2019+A1:2024 for design and manufacture and BS EN 13814-2:2019+A1:2024 for operation, maintenance and use. The EN 13814 series covers amusement ride and device safety; legal adoption and the edition to apply depend on jurisdiction and project circumstances. The applicable edition and legal effect depend on jurisdiction and project circumstances. Review the official national catalogue and responsible authority before specifying a compliance route.
Cost and operational checks
For a project, document the ride classification, design basis, risk assessment, materials, electrical and control systems, installation, operating procedures, maintenance plan and inspection records. Engage competent local engineers and inspectors to determine applicable obligations.
Questions for your supplier
A supplier statement or a standards reference on a website is not proof that a particular delivered configuration has been assessed or approved. Obtain relevant declarations, test and inspection records for the actual model and installation, and have them reviewed by the authority or qualified professional.
