ZGDino is among the first Chinese animatronic dinosaur manufacturers to achieve full EN 13814 compliance for fairground and amusement equipment, meeting the stringent European safety standard that governs design, manufacture, and operation of amusement devices. This compliance enables direct supply to European theme parks, traveling fairs, and municipal festivals.
Safety Factor Requirements
| Component Category | EN 13814 Safety Factor | ZGDino Applied Factor | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Structure (steel frame) | ≥2.0 static yield | 2.5 | FEA + Physical Load Test |
| Moving Joints/Bearings | ≥3.0 fatigue | 3.5 | Cycle Testing (1M cycles) |
| Anchorage/Fasteners | ≥3.0 ultimate | 3.5 | Torque Verification + Pull Test |
| Electrical Systems | Per EN 60204-1 | Compliant | Dielectric + Ground Continuity |
| Skin/Cladding Attachment | ≥2.5 peel strength | 3.0 | Adhesion Test (ASTM D4541) |
Risk Assessment Methodology
ZGDino conducts risk assessment per EN ISO 12100 using a three-step method: hazard identification, risk estimation using probability-severity matrices, and risk reduction through inherent design, guarding, and information for use. Residual risks are documented in the Instruction Handbook per EN 13814 Clause 7.4.
Inspection & Testing Protocol
- Type Testing: First article undergoes full structural load test, endurance cycle test (1 million cycles minimum), and environmental chamber testing (-20°C to +50°C)
- Production Testing: Every unit receives functional test, electrical safety test, and visual inspection before crating
- In-Service Inspection: Annual inspection checklist provided per EN 13814 Clause 8
ZGDino's EN 13814-compliant animatronic dinosaurs provide European buyers with pre-certified equipment that satisfies notified body requirements and accelerates permitting timelines.
