Recently, it is not uncommon to see reports of tragic accidents on rides in news feeds. Many Kazakhstanis are asking questions: who regulates and controls this sphere, are there those responsible for the life and health of those who come to have fun and relax, and leave with damage to health?
The fact that it is possible and necessary to ensure the reliability and safety of the rides in Kazakhstan, the employees of the NAC told the employees of the capital's park. Deputy Director General of the NAC Yerzhan Karasaev and colleagues informed partners about the possibility of accreditation in Kazakhstan in a new direction - the ISO/IEC 17020 standard "Conformity Assessment. Requirements for the work of various types of inspection bodies".
The sphere of attractions today is a gray zone in the state control system, limited by the certification procedure, which is carried out by one of the authorized state bodies on the basis of consideration of a package of documents. At the same time, the inspection and assessment of the safety of the equipment on site is not carried out.
The advantage of inspection by an accredited body is that the attractions are checked at the location, with an assessment of compliance with all parameters declared by the manufacturer, and the exclusion of any possible risks for vacationers. Inspections of accredited inspection bodies are carried out on a regular basis by qualified personnel during the entire period of operation of the equipment.
Currently, the certification of technical entertainment facilities in the capital's park is carried out by an organization certified by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which specializes in checking heavy construction equipment. The representative of this organization, who was in the hall, expressed great interest in accreditation after studying all the documents and procedures for evaluating the NAC.
