Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to all types of bungee jump places that are open to the public, including both artificial and natural-plus-artificial facilities. It is mandatory for any organization operating a commercial bungee jumping venue in China. It does not apply to private or non-commercial training facilities.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive mandatory requirements for the safe operation of bungee jumping facilities. It dictates strict dimensional and structural criteria for the bungee tower and platform, including minimum dimensions for the platform length, width, and jump arm length. Facility operators must ensure specific spatial clearances between the bungee rope's vertical projection and surrounding obstacles. For the bungee space, the standard outlines safety parameters for rebound points and minimum vertical distances to landing areas, which vary depending on whether the jumping height is above or below 40 meters. It also sets strict guidelines for the lifting and transmission equipment, requiring specific safety coefficients for assist ropes and mechanisms to prevent rope detachment or over-winding. Regarding bungee ropes and jumping gear, the standard mandates that all equipment must obtain product inspection certificates from authorized technical organizations. There are strict limits on the usage count and wear rate of bungee ropes. Additionally, platforms exceeding 20 meters must be equipped with anemometers, and comprehensive rescue and communication systems must be in place.
Testing methods
The standard primarily focuses on design, structural, and operational verification rather than specific laboratory testing methods. It requires safety inspections of equipment against referenced standards such as GB 8408-2000 for amusement ride safety and GB/T 5144-1985 for crane safety protocols. Facilities must undergo regular safety checks and maintain detailed equipment logs. It also involves visual and structural verification of safety clearances, load capacities, and the presence of mandatory rescue and monitoring equipment.
