Standard Practice for Characterization of Fire Properties of Seating, Upholstery, and Padding Materials for Vehicles Associated with Amusement Rides and Devices

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice requires that seating, upholstery, and padding materials used for vehicles associated with amusement rides and devices exhibit adequate smoldering ignition properties.

4.1.1 Noncombustible materials are permitted to be used as seating, upholstery, and padding materials, and do not require testing for smoldering ignition.

4.2 The structural components or framing associated with a vehicle or ride are not considered seating, upholstery, or padding materials.

4.3 Annex A1 provides an optional open flame test suitable for seat padding materials.

4.4 Appendix X1 provides non-mandatory guidance for conducting an analysis of fire scenarios associated with the operation of vehicles associated with amusement rides and devices. The conduction of a fire hazard analysis is not a requirement of this practice. The purpose of Appendix X1 is to provide manufacturers, owners, and operators with criteria and references for fire properties of materials used in vehicles either following construction or major modifications of an amusement ride or device.

4.5 This practice does not address the probability of occurrence of a hazardous event in any fire scenario associated with amusement rides or devices. Thus, this practice does not address the potential risk associated with any fire scenario. Practice F2291-21 includes general requirement to assess and mitigate hazards for all rides and devices.

4.6 The requirements in this practice are not intended to supersede any additional or alternate requirements provided by the authority having jurisdiction.
