Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".

Drafting.

This document replaces GB/T 34272-2017 "Safety Specifications for Small Amusement Facilities". Compared with GB/T 34272-2017, the main differences are in the structural design.

Aside from integration and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

---The scope has been changed, and the scope of non-applicability of the standard has been expanded (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 2017 edition);

---The definition of small amusement facilities has been changed, and the definitions of handrails, guardrails, fences, easy access, and difficult access have been removed (see section 3).

(Chapters 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 of the 2017 edition)

The.2017 version (4.3) added requirements for formaldehyde emission from engineered wood products (see 4.2.3);

---The structural integrity of small amusement facilities with a platform height not exceeding 3000mm should be determined using design calculations and physical measurements.

The requirement for verification using a trial-and-error method or a combination of both (see 4.3.1, 5.2.2 of the 2017 edition);

---The structural integrity of small amusement facilities with a platform height greater than 3000mm should be determined using design calculations (see 4.3.2);

4.4.3, 4.4.4, 4.4.5, 4.4.6, 4.4.7);

---The requirements for fall protection have been changed (see 4.5.1, 5.4.1 in the 2017 version);

---Standing surfaces with a drop height greater than 3000mm should be designed as enclosed structures with good visibility.

(See 4.5.4.7);

---Changed "pinch hazard" to "pinch protection", and modified the "basic requirements" in "pinch protection" (see 4.8.1, 5.7.1 in the 2017 version);

---The requirement for "pinch protection of the head and neck" has been changed (see 4.8.2, 5.7.2 in the 2017 version);
