Questions about the standard should be addressed to Scott Andrews, Policy Director at scott.andrews@acctinfo.org.

All members of the challenge course, zip tour, and adventure park industry including builders, inspectors, operators, and regulators should read and understand this new industry benchmark.  The ANSI/ACCT Standards address the design, installation, and performance of challenge courses, zip lines, adventure parks and the operation and staff training for those sites.  The 2019 edition has significant changes in the standards addressing the operations of sites.
