and the minimum requirements applicable to:
- MRT, visual and radiographic equipment and procedures for the examination of steel wire ropes.
This standard is not applicable to cableway installations for the transportation of goods nor to inclined lifts.
It includes requirements relating to the prevention of work accidents and to worker protection, without prejudice to the application of national regulations. National regulations in the construction sector, or provisions of a regulatory nature, or provisions which are intended for the protection of specific groups of people are not affected by this standard.
NOTE The Federal or State or Local regulations, in the Countries where that applies, are meant as National regulations in the purposes of this Standard.

- The scope of the standard to be amended is:
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to carriers for cableway installations designed to carry persons. This part of EN 12929 specifies the safety requirements for the general requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons. These requirements are applied to the various types of installations and their environment.
This document defines general technical characteristics and prescribes design principles and general safety requirements.
It does not deal with details of operation and maintenance, nor with calculations and detailed requirements for the manufacture of components.
This Part 1 does not deal with special regulations applicable to bi-cable reversible aerial ropeways without carrier truck brakes, which are the subject of Part 2.
It includes requirements relating to the prevention of accidents and the protection of workers.
It does not apply to cableway installations for transportation of goods or to lifts.
Clause 11 describes the minimum requirements to be normatively satisfied for passageways and work areas. National regulations of a building or federal/state nature or which serve to protect particular groups of people remain unaffected.
It may not always be possible for all types of cableway installation to transport all particular groups of people (e.g. persons with restricted mobility). The objective should be, however, for a cableway installation to enable the transportation of the largest possible passenger population.
- The scope of the proposed amendment A1 on this standard is to modify article 10.2 on braking system in order to be in line with the text of the regulation 2016/424/

This part of EN 12927 specifies the safety requirements for the storage, transportation, installation and tensioning of ropes for installations for the transportation of passenger by rope.
It also includes the requirements for adjusting, measuring and recording the condition of the rope during and on completion of the installation.
It provides the safety requirements and measures to reduce the effect of hazards to the rope and possible hazards from the rope to persons and equipment during these operations.
It does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods, nor to inclined lifts.

This part of EN 12927 specifies the safety requirements applicable to the selection criteria for ropes and their end fixings for installations for passenger transportation by rope. Its requirements are to be met taking into account the various types installations systems and their environment.
This part of EN 12927 provides guidance on the selection of ropes and their end fixing for use on cableways.
It does not apply for transportation of goods nor to inclined lifts.
