GB/T 20049-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering the code that names one amusement ride the way a VIN names a car — the property code, whether the ride falls under special equipment supervision and which design acceleration zone it sits in, the feature code giving the motion form, the device type and a main parameter such as height, speed or slide length, the manufacturer identifier, the separators, and where and how the number is marked on the machine. The 2006 edition was a list of names; this one builds the number out of the ride's own properties. Issued on 30 May 2025, it has been in force since 1 September 2025, replacing GB/T 20049-2006.
