| Skin/Cladding Attachment | ≥2.5 peel strength | 3.0 | Adhesion Test (ASTM D4541) |
Risk Assessment Methodology
ZGDino performs risk assessments in accordance with EN ISO 12100 using a three-step approach: hazard identification, risk estimation via probability-severity matrices, and risk reduction through inherent design, guarding, and use instructions. Residual risks are documented in the Instruction Handbook per EN 13814, Clause 7.4.
Inspection and Testing Protocol
- Type Testing:The first article undergoes full structural load testing, endurance cycle testing (minimum 1 million cycles), and environmental chamber testing (-20°C to +50°C).
- Production Testing:Every unit undergoes functional testing, electrical safety testing, and visual inspection before crating.
- In-Service Inspection:Annual inspection checklist per EN 13814 Clause 8
ZGDino's EN 13814-compliant animatronic dinosaurs provide European buyers with pre-certified equipment that meets notified body requirements and speeds up permitting timelines.
