Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the technical requirements, test methods, and inspection rules for stage mechanical and electrical control systems, as well as marking and accompanying documents, packaging, and other usage information. This document applies to stage mechanical and electrical control systems provided for various performance venues, including professional theaters, multi-functional theaters, multi-purpose theaters, concert halls, open-air theaters, and other indoor and outdoor performance venues, as well as various other venues for performances and gathering activities. This document does not apply to independently controlled mechanical controls with relatively simple operation and control functions, such as fire-resistant isolation curtains, actor lifting trolleys, and scenery lifting platforms. This document does not apply to electrical control systems for mechanical devices constructed for temporary use or acrobatic performances, or for stage machinery manufactured before its implementation.
