fire integrity criterion E is the ability of one side of a separating building element to resist exposure to fire, without transferring the fire to the unexposed side through passage of large quantities of flame or hot gas to the non-exposed side [SOURCE: EN 13501-2:2016, 5.2.2.1] SIST EN 17064:2019

time, expressed in minutes, equal to 1.5 times the duration which, in the event of fire, may be required for the loaded carrier to reach an evacuation area as quickly as possible, using the main or auxiliary drive system Note 1 to clause: The factor 1.5 takes into account, among other things, the time that may be required to restart or change direction and the time required for persons exiting the carrier to reach a safe place. 3.8 evacuation area an area where users may exit the carrier and reach a safe place, following an evacuation route if necessary (self-evacuation and/or assisted evacuation) EXAMPLE Stations. 3.9 compact station a type of station in which the technical components of the cableway installation and the shell of the station are supported by a single load-bearing structure Note 1 to clause: Examples of compact stations. In example a), part of the compact station is included in a building. SIST EN 17064:2019

a) b)
c) Figure 1 — Example of compact stations 3.10 fire mode final operating mode enabling safety functions to be overridden easily and simply to facilitate the recovery of carriers in the event of a fire in the cableway installation 3.11 tunnel natural or artificial covering, longer than 80 m, irrespective of the type of construction: whether hollowed out or submerged, a covered trench, acoustic shell, or partial covering with a permanent external opening of a surface area less than one-fifth of the surface area of the apron Note 1 to clause: The length of the tunnel is the distance between the two ends of the tunnel or between two stations. 4 General requirements 4.1 Application of the standard The requirements of this document apply to all cableway installations designed to carry persons together with those of European standards EN 1709, EN 1908, EN 1909, EN 12397, EN 12408, EN 12927 (series), EN 12929 (series), EN 12930, EN 13107, EN 13223, EN 13243 and EN 13796 (series). 4.2 Safety principles 4.2.1 General
The safety principles set out in EN 12929-1 apply. SIST EN 17064:2019

tack effect of the tunnel; 2) change of direction of fumes and hot gases due to pressure differences. 4.2.3 Safety analysis and report The safety analysis and report shall take into consideration fire hazards. NOTE This standard is designed to help with drafting the safety analysis and report in relation to fire hazards. 4.2.4 Safety objectives Fire outbreak and fire spread hazards shall be minimised in the design, operation and maintenance of cable installations. The risk of endangering persons due to fire and/or any smoke emissions shall be minimised. SIST EN 17064:2019

NOTE This applies in particular to load-bearing, hauling and hauling/load-bearing cables, cable connections, as well as cable anchor points and tensioning devices. If fire breaks out in a carrier on the line, the priority is for it to reach an evacuation area as quickly as possible. If fire breaks out in a station and/or in a carrier in a station, the priority is to evacuate persons from carriers and from the station. Recovery of carriers during a fire shall be facilitated in the event of a safety device being triggered. 4.2.5 Safety measures In order to avoid or limit the hazardous scenarios listed in 4.2.2, safety measures shall be established based on the safety analysis outlined in 4.2.3, thereby ensuring that carrier passengers or persons present in the station avoid being injured by fire or choked by smoke. The safety measures shall take account of the type of cableway installation, the type of construction, the installation site and the local environment (roads, railways, buildings, forest, etc.). The measures listed in this document are construction and operational measures intended to: — avoid a fire resulting in damage to the cableway installation; — minimize the thermal loads in the cableway installation; — limit the damaging effects of a fire on the major safety components by timely detection, alarm and firefighting; — define adequate characteristics (in particular, reaction to fire and fire resistance) of the major safety components taking into account thermal stressing in the event of a fire in the cableway installation; — provide a fire-resistant separation between adjoining areas for an adequate period of time; — install adequate evacuation routes in stations and/or along the line; — provide personnel and passengers with suitable instructions; — provide training allowing personnel to act appropriately regarding fire prevention and firefighting. If recovery of carriers during a fire is required, the cableway installation shall be kept operational for the increased recovery time "iRT". In addition, if it is necessary, "fire mode" also allows carriers to be recovered as quickly as possible when one or several devices that engage a safety function (in accordance with EN 13243:2015, 3.1) no longer fulfil their function due to the fire. NOTE Devices that engage a safety function are, for example, external sensors and their electrical cables, whether on the line, in stations, or in carriers.
— other: as appropriate depending on the safety analysis (for example: specific line section travelling above a forest, barn, building etc.). In "fire mode", the driver shall be able to adjust the speed of the cableway installation up to the maximum speed permitted at each point of the line. However, the functionality of the cableway installation in "fire mode" cannot be guaranteed under certain conditions, specifically in the event of a fire in electrical spaces (e.g. control point, transformer space, low-voltage space) or machinery spaces. NOTE 2 The power space is a low-voltage space. SIST EN 17064:2019

c) All “fire mode” control mechanisms shall be located in the control point of the cableway installation.
d) Access to each individual manual "fire mode" control mechanism shall be designed so as to prevent its accidental handling. NOTE Access via a protected box, either break-glass or lead-sealed, can meet this requirement. e) Any inadvertent triggering of this "fire mode", following technical malfunction, should be avoided. f) A single technical malfunction on a control mechanism as defined in 5.2.b) shall not prevent the activation of the "fire mode”. g) As an exception to the standards referred to in chapter 2, engagement of “fire mode” shall not cause the cableway installation to come to a stop. Moreover, it is possible to start the cableway installation in “fire mode”. h) The "fire mode" helps to recover carriers at the maximum speed permitted at each point of the line, by ruling out stoppages and reductions in speed caused by the fault or malfunction of a device that engages a safety function (in accordance with EN 13243:2015, 3.1).
i) The activation of the "fire mode" shall trigger a special signal that may be clearly perceived by the driver of the cableway installation. If the communication systems are operational at the time that the "fire mode" is activated, this signal shall be triggered at all stations of the cableway installation. The special signal shall be clearly perceived by the operating personnel present. j
