Abstract

In current hectic times, people should be able to slow down and diversify their free time. Therefore, the contribution of the amusement industry should not be negligible but, on the contrary, should be seen as something where whole families can seek respite from ordinary worries and problems. For this reason, the presented paper was written, which represents an intermediate step in the design of an amusement facility suitable for amusement parks that respects the normative requirements. Technical standardization represents a set of rules, characterizations, guidelines, and results of activities necessary for mutual understanding when solving technical problems in production. Adherence to standards is essential when launching a product on the market. The main standard indicating the full functioning of an amusement device is STN EN 13814. Its analysis and the resulting technical specifications of the proposed equipment are the chief objectives of the paper.
