Scope of application

The Technical regulation EAEU is applicable to temporary (transported) attractions and stationary attractions, where passengers are subject to the biomechanical effects of potential biomechanical risk RB-1, or RB-2, or RB-3, and are divided into the following types:

  • Mechanized forward movement attractions such as sliding mountains, towers of free fall, catapults, park trains on rails, cable park roads;
  • Mechanized rotary motion attractions such as view wheels, swings, carousels;
  • Mechanized complex motion attractions such as the mechanized cinema chairs, simulators, and attractions based on industrial robots;
  • Tracks and сarting such as сarting-cars, expressways with mini cars;
  • Inflatable attractions such as inflatable bouncers, slides, mazes;
  • Water unmechanized attractions such as straight water slides and with superelevations, springboards;
  • Unmechanized Attractions such as roller coasters, swings, carousels, bungees
  • Attractions for children such as roller coasters, slopes, swings, carousels, electric or pedal cars.


The forms and types of attractions are defined in Annex N 1 to the Technical regulation.


The TR EAEU 038 does not apply to:

  • Children's playground equipment
  • Attractions with negligible potential of biomechanical risk (RB-4)
  • For the attractions made and put into service prior to the entry into force of this technical regulation.

Definitions

  • Attraction - is an equipment designed for the entertainment of passengers during the motion, including biomechanical effects;
  • Children's Attraction - is an amusement ride specially designed for children's Entertainment (from 90 to 160 cm in height);
  • Mechanized attraction - is a ride that moves passengers along a predetermined trajectory or within a limited space by using different types of energy;
  • Biomechanical effect - is an impact on the passengers of the forces associated with their movement.

Confirmation of conformity

The compliance with the requirements of the Technical regulation is confirmed by:

  • In the form of mandatory certification ((Certificate of Conformity) for attractions with the potential biomechanical risk degree of RB-1$
  • In the form of a conformity declaration (Declaration of Conformity)) for attractions with the potential biomechanical risk degrees of RB-2, RB-3.
