(a) The quality assurance program for manufacture, assembly, erection, modification, or reconditioning, shall contain, at a minimum, all of the following:

1. Drawings:

i. Drawing numbers shall be unique;

ii. Revision blocks shall be clear and track what changed in the revision;

iii. If jigs were fabricated or used, each jig shall have a jig identification, and each jig used shall be identified, with appropriate settings, on the assembly or fabrication drawing;

iv. Tolerances and finishes shall be specified, where necessary; and

v. Drawings shall adhere to an accepted drawing standard;

2. Welding:

i. Welding, when necessary, shall conform to AWS D1.1 or an equivalent standard;

ii. Pre-qualified weld joints shall include base metal, electrodes, inserts, weld preparation, inert gas shielding requirement, backing, speeds, feed rates, techniques, preheat requirements, and postheat requirements;

iii. AWS or equivalent certified welders shall be qualified on the pre-qualified weld joint(s) they actually weld; and

iv. Welds shall be inspected by AWS or equivalent certified weld inspectors;

3. Machining requirements shall identify how requirements are met and how they are checked;

4. Materials:

i. Material certifications shall be obtained for each material ordered that is related in any way to structure or safety;

ii. Flame retardant certification shall be obtained for all materials with a specified flame retardance, including, but not limited to, fabrics and plastics; and

iii. A method shall be in place to verify that the material called for on the drawing is received and is actually used in the part or assembly;

5. A method shall be in place to assure that assemblies are done properly;

6. A method shall be in place to assure that erection of the ride is done properly;

7. Testing shall be performed, in accordance with ASTM F 1193, on the ride, and subassemblies and parts, if necessary; and

8. When timber is used, it shall be stored and assembled in such a way as to eliminate or to minimize decay or rotting. Inspection points shall be set up so that timber may be evaluated at several steps during the process to ensure the highest quality.

i. Prior to assembly into the ride, fasteners shall be inspected to ensure that there is not corrosion sufficient to produce fretting in the timber thereby reducing joint strength.
