Yes. All Wattman trains are designed to meet U.S. safety standards, including ASTM F2291 for design and ASTM F1193 for manufacturing and quality assurance. Certification is conducted by TÜV, a globally recognized testing agency.
TÜV is an independent international certification body that inspects, tests, and certifies products for compliance and safety. Their approval ensures your Wattman train meets strict global standards.
Trackless trains are classified as amusement rides in many states. Regulations vary, so we recommend checking with your local authority. Wattman can provide documentation to support your state-level approval process.
