标准2025澳大利亚标准协会（AS）最近颁布了AS 3533.4.5：2017，游乐乘骑装置和设施，第4.5部分：具体要求——水性气体设备。最初，AS 3533.4.5：2017于2012年作为临时标准颁布，经行业内磋商，现已确认为澳大利亚标准。水性气体设备（WBI）经常用于游乐园和水上乐园，是指在控制性水域上使用的充气设备。该项标准为水上充气设备装置的制造商和操作者提供相关指导，旨在帮助保护操作人员和顾客的健康安全。临时标准出台之前澳大利亚并没有制定水上充气装置相关标准。当时，水上充气装置设计者和操作者参考适用于所有娱乐设施装置标准中的构造、操作和维护部分。安西娅.哈蒙（Anthea Hammon）任ME-051委员会游乐乘骑装置和设施主席，她解释了行业内对AS 3533.4.5标准的需求。哈蒙女士说：“娱乐设施为所有人提供有趣的娱乐体验，我们的目的是使游乐园每时每刻都能保证每个人的安全。”该项标准通过行业、政府和社区利益相关方的协商一致而制定。
Confirmation of Waterborne Inflatables Standard
Standards Australia recently published AS 3533.4.5:2017, Amusement rides and devices, Part 4.5: Specific requirements—Waterborne inflatables.
AS 3533.4.5:2017 was originally published as an interim standard in 2012. It is now confirmed as an Australian Standard following industry consultation.
Often used in amusement park and waterpark rides, a waterborne inflatable, or WBI, refers to an inflatable used on controlled water.
The standard provides guidance to manufacturers and operators of waterborne inflatable equipment and facilities on how to design and operate this type of device. The standard was written to help protect the health and safety of both operating staff and patrons.
Before the interim standard, no standard existed specifically for waterborne inflatable devices in Australia. Designers and operators instead referred more generally to parts of the standard covering the construction, operation and maintenance of all amusement rides and devices.
Anthea Hammon, Chair of the committee ME-051, Amusement Rides and Devices, explained the need for AS 3533.4.5 within the industry.
“Amusement rides are meant to be a fun and entertaining experience for all. Our intention is that at the end of the day amusement parks are safer for everyone’s enjoyment,” said Ms Hammon.
The standard was developed through consensus from industry, government and community interests.
