Our sector, that of the attractions for amusement
park, is all over the world in development and it founds on great
project and carry-out abilities, because the merry-go-rounds still
have need of so much imagination and manual job, not being series
product.
Every year in the amusement park of the world are recorded presences
for hundreds of million of people and the 70% of the merry-go-rounds
to the world are built in Europe and to a large extent in Italy.
Just for this reality, in 1987 a group of technicians has given
life to the ANCASVI, that is the first European Association of Builders
counting counting approx. 40 in partnership firms today .
The principal aim's association is to favor then and to promote
all the activities turned to the development of the sector, protecting
the affairs of the builders, facing thematic communes to the in
partnership firms.
To do this we are in contact to national level with the goverments
and the competent authorities and through the organization of seminars
and conferences, the technicians and the operators of the partnership
firms are constantly informed on the evolution of the norms that
concerne the sector. ANCASVI wants handed as authoritative representative
of a national constructive tradition of the sector of the amusement
parks.
The association is continually adjourned on the national and international
normative panorama. Through own technical committee, besides, ANCASVI
is actively inserted, from over 10 years, in the project of European
standard technique - CEN/TC 152 that specifically draws
the matter "machine and structures for fairs and amusement
park - safety".
From 1995 the European secretary office is submitted
to Italy, to our national corporate body of unification
UNI.
In 1996 we have received the order m/233 from the European committee,
that finally required in official way that was made an European
technical norm on the safety of these equipments.
The
technical Italian standard n. 10894, in which
the technicians of the Ancasvi have actively participated, are in
vigor and have brought us to the state-of-the-art international
in the normative sector.
We are participating in the jobs of the
ASTM,
that it elaborates the same technical norms in the United States.
The American norm, thanks to our contribution, in many points has
been modified for being the more possible harmonized with that European.
This could allow us in a next future an easy approach to a
ISO
world norm.
To European level we have contacts and collaborations with many
Countries and Institutions: we belong to the
NAFLIC,
the organism of certification English that accredits the organisms
of certification in the sector of the amusement, while in Italy
it is very strong the collaboration with
ANESV.
From July 2000 we have given life to the
EAASI,
the European association of the builders of attractions and similar.
A Deputy President ANCASVI has been chosen to be the first
President of the European association EAASI; and the actual President
of ANCASVI has been choosen to be the actual President of the
European Committee CEN/TC 152.
