EEU: Adopted Technical Regulation on Amusement Ride Safety

The adopted Technical Regulation (TR) sets out minimum safety requirements for the safety of amusement rides and for their design, manufacture, installation (assembly) service, operation, transportation and utilization.  The TR enters into force as of 18 April 2018 (no transitional or grace period is set for this TR).

The TR applies to catapults, monorails and ropeways, karting as well as other types of amusement rides and including both mechanical and non-mechanical amusement rides.

Conformity with this TR will require the issue of a declaration of conformity or a conformity certificate (depending on the type of an amusement ride).

All amusement rides are divided into three groups (depending on the degree of biomechanical risk they represent): RB-1, RB-2 and RB-3 (where RB-1 represents the highest risk).
