ESTA: Entertainment Services and Technology Association
ESTA, the Entertainment Services and Technology Association, is a nonprofit trade association based in North American for the entertainment technology industry. ESTA engages in skills certification in many of the crafts represented by the IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees), and develops standards in those areas through an ANSI-accredited Technical Standards Program (TSP). Its industry-leading standards program enjoys international participation and currently has working groups in nine areas: control protocols, electrical power, event safety, floors, fog and smoke, followspot position, photometrics, rigging, and stage machinery. Standards from ESTA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.
Below are ESTA's best-selling standards. To find additional standards, please use the search bar above.
ANSI E1.21-2024
Entertainment Technology - Temporary Structures Used for Technical Production of Outdoor Entertainment Events
This document establishes a minimum level of design and performance parameters for the design, manufacturing, use and maintenance of temporary ground-supported structures used in the production of outdoor entertainment events. The purpose of this guidance is to ensure the structural reliability and safety of these structures. The 2024 version is referenced by the 2024 International Fire Code. It is also now referenced by, and correlated with, the 2024 International Building Code's structural requirements for temporary structures.

ANSI E1.42-2023
Entertainment Technology - Safety Standard for Entertainment Lifts
Stage and orchestra lifts are specifically excluded from ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. The previous version of E1.42 provided a reference standard for the design, manufacture, installation, and inspection of orchestra pit lifts. This revision expands its scope to include stage lifts and other similar lifts. These lifts have widely varying requirements and operating conditions. Procedures for risk assessment and risk reduction have been added to accommodate these conditions. As a result, many sections have been reorganized and renumbered. To reflect the increased scope and more closely follow ASME A17.1, the title has also been changed to Safety Standard for Entertainment Lifts.

ANSI E1.47-2020
Entertainment Technology - Recommended Guidelines for Entertainment Rigging System Inspections
This standard offers guidance on inspecting entertainment rigging systems, which are systems used to lift and support scenery, luminaires, and other equipment overhead in entertainment venues, such as theatres, video/film studios, amphitheatres, and arenas used for live performances or special events.

ANSI ES1.9-2020
Event Safety - Crowd Management
The scope of this standard is to define "crowd management" as distinguished from "crowd control", to provide an overview of crowd management theory and vocabulary, and to apply these terms to certain reasonably foreseeable risks that arise during live events. The standard is intended both to identify minimum requirements and provide questions and suggestions that help event organizers make reasonable choices under the circumstances of their event.

ANSI E1.1-2024
Entertainment Technology - Construction and Use of Wire Rope Ladders
This standard describes the construction and use of wire rope ladders in the entertainment industry in order to promote worker safety. The entertainment industry includes, but is not strictly limited to, musical productions, live concerts, live theater, film production, video production, corporate events, and trade shows. Wire rope ladders are used where ladders with rigid rails are impractical to use or would pose a greater danger. This is a revision of the prior 2018 version, updating it to current technology and practices.

ANSI E1.3-2001 (R2021)
Entertainment Technology - Lighting Control Systems - 0 to 10 V Analog Control Specification
This standard, a reaffirmation of the prior version, describes a method of controlling equipment by means of an analog control voltage. It is primarily intended for lighting control equipment (controllers and dimmers) although any equipment which might be controlled by a lighting controller (intelligent lighting, strobe lights, fog machines, etc.) could use this control method. Reaffirmation approved by the ANSI Board of Standards Review on 20 May 2021

ANSI E1.4-1-2022
Entertainment Technology - Manual Counterweight Rigging Systems
It's scope covers permanently installed, manually operated counterweight systems of stage rigging hardware for the raising, lowering, and suspension of scenery, lighting, and similar loads. The systems illustrated in the Figures section describe common arrangements of systems used over performance areas. It also applies to variations of manual counterweight rigging, including rope and sandbag systems. This standard applies to rigging hardware and basic functional requirements only, and not to the structure from which it is supported. While not part of this standard, building structural capacity for the intended loads shall be considered in the design and application of rigging systems.
