New standards for the “Safety Specifications for Small Amusement Facilities” have been implemented, strengthening the safety barrier for children’s play areas.
Recently, the mandatory national standard "Safety Specifications for Small Amusement Facilities" (GB 34272—2025) issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation has been officially implemented. This standard has been comprehensively revised based on the original standard, further strengthening the safety management and control of small amusement facilities, safeguarding the safety of children and teenagers, and promoting the development of the amusement equipment industry towards standardization and high quality.
With the widespread use of small amusement facilities in public places such as parks, communities, shopping malls, and schools, safety hazards such as excessive levels of harmful substances in materials, insufficient structural strength, and squeezing or trapping have become increasingly prominent, and various safety accidents have attracted widespread social attention.
This new standard addresses industry pain points and optimizes and upgrades the standard in five key areas:
Industry insiders say the implementation of the new standard will further improve the inherent safety level of small amusement facilities, standardize the entire process of production, operation and maintenance in the industry, and effectively reduce the risk of safety accidents.
More Details
- Protective design: Clearly define the clamping gap and add anti-climbing and anti-water accumulation structures.
- Material control: Restricting harmful components, adding standards for formaldehyde and lead content.
- Structural requirements: Standardize stress calculations for tall equipment to prevent collapse risks.
- Emergency requirements: Clearly define the number of entrances and exits to the enclosed area to ensure rapid evacuation.
For amusement equipment manufacturers, this is both a stringent compliance requirement and an important opportunity to promote product upgrades and enhance core competitiveness. It will force companies to increase R&D investment, focus on safety and quality, and drive the industry to transform from "extensive development" to "standardized and quality-improving development".
