Regulations for edge products of large-scale amusement facilities have been clarified, bringing previously ambiguous areas under regulatory oversight.

For a long time, certain "edge products"—those positioned between small and large-scale installations (such as facilities operating at heights of 1.9–2 meters and speeds of 1.9–2 m/s)—have remained in a regulatory gray area


For a long time, certain "edge products"—those positioned between small and large-scale installations (such as facilities operating at heights of 1.9–2 meters and speeds of 1.9–2 m/s)—have remained in a regulatory gray area, making them high-risk areas prone to safety hazards. In May 2025, the State Administration for Market Regulation launched a targeted enforcement campaign that, for the first time, explicitly brought these edge products under regulatory oversight, effectively preventing companies from exploiting loopholes to evade compliance.
These fringe products often appear in mobile settings such as temple fairs and temporary amusement parks, where manufacturers deliberately lower parameter standards to exempt the equipment from special equipment regulations—yet their actual risks are no less significant than those of large-scale amusement rides. In 2024, Guangxi’s Detian Waterfall Scenic Area experienced a serious accident involving its "Magic Carpet" high-altitude viewing platform, which operated at a height of just 1.95 meters but was not classified under special equipment management. The incident was triggered by a malfunction in the braking system. As part of a targeted remediation effort, authorities have explicitly mandated that fringe products nearing the criteria for special equipment must be designed, manufactured, and inspected in accordance with the same rigorous standards applied to large-scale amusement facilities—and must also be equipped with safety protection systems of comparable quality.
Regulatory authorities have established a parameter filing system, requiring manufacturing companies to accurately report critical parameters such as the maximum operating speed and height of their equipment—falsifying these details is strictly prohibited. During enforcement actions, specialized equipment is used for on-site inspections; companies found to have actual parameters exceeding their declared ranges will face fines of more than three times the value of the goods involved, as mandated by law. Additionally, end-users are required to prominently display this parameter information, ensuring transparency and inviting public oversight. This initiative fills a long-standing regulatory gap, significantly boosting the safety standards of marginal products by over 50%.
