11、5. Developmental Testing by the Manufacturer5.1 Where applicable as determined by the manufacturer/designer, the following test procedures shall be developed andperformed on a prototype amusement ride or device in orderthat the manufacturer/designer may determine the appropriate-ness for use, of not

Installation Testing6.1 Th

17、is section of the guide covers those tests relevant notonly to installation, but also includes post-modification andmajor modifications. The original manufacturer or supplier ofan amusement ride or device shall also provide, where appli-cable, the following standard testing guides:6.1.1 Materials Te

18、stingAcceptable test procedures for thecertification of all major structural components shall be pro-vided. Where possible, this testing should be referenced toASTM or to other commonly accepted industry standards.6.1.2 Erection/Modification Acceptance TestingTest pro-cedures or criteria for the acc

19、eptance of such constructionoperations as welding and fastening shall be provided. Again,reference where possible should be made to ASTM or to othercurrently accepted industry standards for this purpose.6.1.3 Performance TestingThis should consist of a seriesof specified tests that can be used to de

20、termine that the newlyerected ride or device conforms to the original design criteria.7. Operational Testing7.1 The manufacturer of a ride or device shall developspecific operational tests along with minimum intervals forthese tests to be performed that will allow the owner/operatorof the ride or de

21、vice to determine whether a given ride ordevice is operating within prescribed operational limits.7.2 All operational tests, except those necessarily recom-mended subsequent to the sale because of information notreasonably available to the manufacturer at the time of sale,should be recommended to th

22、e owner/operator at the time ofsale. All tests, whether recommended at the time of sale, orsubsequent tests, shall meet the following criteria:7.2.1 All tests shall have been satisfactorily performed bythe manufacturer prior to sale.7.2.2 The tests must be such that the ride, device, or elementcan r

23、easonably be expected to pass during the expected designlife, assuming recommended maintenance and operative pro-cedures have been followed.7.2.3 All tests must be reasonable and such that the owner/operator can reasonably be expected to be competent toperform or cause to be performed.7.2.4 Any oper

24、ational test including load testing performedon an amusement ride or device shall be completely nonde-structive in nature. Overload testing exceeding the above limitsshall be deemed inappropriate.7.2.5 Any installation or operational testing conducted onan amusement ride or device shall be accomplis

25、hed within therated limits of the information provided by the manufacturer.8. Nondestructive Testing (NDT)8.1 This section pertains to the nondestructive testing ofamusement ride and device components as recommended bythe manufacturer. These tests shall be performed by a qualifiedNDT inspector in ac

26、cordance with Practice E 543 or ASNTRecommended Practice SNT-TC-1A, or both. It is not intendedto preclude any other schedule of NDT, inspection, or testing.8.1.1 Nondestructive testing (NDT) is the development andapplication of technical methods such as radiographic, mag-netic particle, ultrasonic,

27、 liquid penetrant, electromagnetic,neutron radiographic, acoustic emission, visual, and leak test-ing to examine materials or components in ways that do notimpair the future usefulness and serviceability in order todetect, locate, measure and evaluate discontinuities, defects,and other imperfections

28、; to assess integrity, properties andcomposition; and to measure geometrical characters.8.1.2 NDT shall be used to verify the integrity of compo-nents which due to their design, location, or installation, orcombination thereof, cannot be adequately evaluated by othermeans.8.1.3 A schedule for testin

29、g on a given ride or devicecomponent shall be defined in terms of hours, days, or otherunits of operation. The initial design shall be developed toexpect a period between tests to be no more frequent thanannually.8.1.4 The manufacturer shall recommend components to betested along with appropriate ac

30、ceptance criteria. The manu-facturer may recommend the test method but shall not specifyhow the testing is to be conducted except where certainprocedures might endanger other components on the ride ordevice. Any changes or additions to these recommendationsshall be communicated to all known owner/op

31、erators of theride or device, and inspection agencies via manufacturersbulletins. Tests shall meet the requirements of 7.2.1-7.2.3.8.1.5 The manufacturer shall include in an appropriatesection of the ride or device manual the list and location ofcomponents to be tested, recommending specific areas t

32、o testand the schedule by which they shall be tested in accordancewith 8.1.4.8.1.6 Components found to have relevant indications that donot meet the acceptance criteria shall be replaced or recondi-tioned in accordance with Practice F 853.8.1.7 Components found free of relevant indications, thatmeet

33、 the acceptance criteria or have been reconditioned, shallbe further tested at the regular schedule in accordance with8.1.3.8.1.8 Within a reasonable time following a request by anowner/operator or inspection agency, the manufacturer of anamusement ride or device whose manual does not containtesting

34、 recommendations shall either provide a componentlisting or statement that no NDT is recommended on the ride ordevice as per the criteria outline of 8.1.2 When a manufactur-ers list or statement is not available, it may be compiled by aregistered professional engineer or engineering agency or byany

35、individual qualified by training and experience to compilesuch a list or statement based upon the ride or devicesspecifications and history and using accepted engineeringpractices.8.1.9 The owner/operator shall be responsible for imple-menting a program of testing based on the recommendations ofSect
