§3005-06 Information Tags

   (a)   Identification. Every amusement device must be identified by the name and address of the manufacturer, a trade or descriptive name of the device, and any Department issued amusement device identification number. Such identification information must be permanently attached to the device and placed in a visible location.

   (b)   Rating plates. A metal plate must be permanently attached to the amusement device in a location that is clearly visible to inspectors, owners, amusement park operators, and amusement device operators. If a metal plate is not possible, an identification tag, acceptable to the Department, may be substituted, but must still be in a visible location and permanently attached to the amusement device. The following information must be legibly written on the plate or identification tag:

      (1)   The name and address of the amusement device manufacturer;

      (2)   The trade or descriptive name of the amusement device;

      (3)   The maximum allowable and safe load and passenger capacity of the amusement device;

      (4)   The maximum allowable and safe speed of the amusement device; and

      (5)   Weather restrictions.  Additional information may be requested by the Department prior to the issuance of a certificate of compliance.  If an amusement device or its supporting structure is altered, or if there is a change to any of the rating plate information, the existing rating plate must be replaced with a new metal plate with the correct information.

   (c)   Certificate of compliance. Every amusement device must have its certificate of compliance displayed in a location on or near the control station of the device that is visible to the public.
