European foreword
This document (EN 1709:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 242 “Safety
requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons”, the secretariat of which is held by
AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2019, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by November 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1709:2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
For the relationship with Regulation (EU) 2016/424, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part
of this document.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
a) 4.2.2 h) was added due to the unsuitability of one procedure.
b) The classification of Clause 5 has been changed in order to implement the term “precommissioning
inspection” consistently with 3.1.
c) Clause 5 has been changed in order to clarify the differences between the two categories of
documents (documents by which the planned configuration of the installation is established, and
documents which the suppliers have to provide to the controller).
d) 5.2 has been deleted, as it is already included in the modified 5.1.
e) 5.3 g) was inserted.
f) The order of the list in 5.3 was adapted to the Regulation (EU) 2016/424 and to Section 6.
g) In the last paragraph of 5.3, the independent competent person has been deleted, as this is a matter
for the national members.
h) In 5.3 m) the pre-commissioning inspection has been deleted because it conflicts with the title and
the performance of recovery exercises as determined in national regulations and/or in EN 1909.
i) The final paragraph of 5.4 has been deleted as it is already covered in EN 12397.
j) In 6.1, the requirements for documenting maintenance work have been combined and extended in
one place.
k) 6.1.1 (new 6.1.2) has been changed, as, in accordance with 5.5, suppliers are required to provide
instructions for maintenance.
l) 6.1.4 was inserted, so that Annex ZA is still possible.
4

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST EN 1709:2019
EN 1709:2019 (E)
m) The definition of inspection in 6.3.1 has been supplemented with information concerning the time
requirements. This definition is now not the same as the term “inspection” in EN 1907.
n) The requirements in 6.3.1 for civil engineering works are generally applicable and have been
expanded to include all parts of the installation.
o) In 6.3.2 and 6.3.5, the visual inspection of screws and rivets for tightness has been changed to cover
loose and missing elements, and the visual inspection with regard to deformation has been extended
to include all components.
p) In 6.3.3, a), c), i), k) and parts of m) have been omitted and a stipulation of switching cabinet
cleanliness requirements included. The order of the list was adapted to Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
q) In 6.3.5, the order of the lists has been changed to comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/424 and a
clause concerning mobile evacuation equipment has been included.
r) 6.3.5.2 has been supplemented with detailed requirements for timber structures and for the terrain
in the vicinity of the civil engineering works.
s) Most of the requirements for funicular railways originally included in 6.3.6 are generally applicable
and have been extended to include all cableway systems. In order to create a comprehensible
qualitative difference with respect to the annual inspections in accordance with 6.3.5.2, inspection
by a competent person was introduced for the multiannual inspection of engineering structures
(tunnels, galleries, bridges) and ground anchors.
t) The intervals and the inspection methodology were changed in 6.3.7.
u) The requirements relating to the civil engineering works in 6.4 have been omitted, as they repeat
similar requirements in this Standard.
v) 6.5 has been deleted without replacement.
w) The terms and organization of Clause 7 have been revised. In addition, it was decided that the
supplier’s instructions in accordance with 5.5 shall include the stated operational inspections.
x) Clause 8 has been deleted, as it is already covered in other areas of the Standard.
y) The scope of the Standard was changed from “Maintenance and operational inspections” to
“Instructions for maintenance and operational inspections”.

European foreword
This document (EN 1709:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 242 “Safety
requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons”, the secretariat of which is held by
AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2019, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by November 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1709:2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
For the relationship with Regulation (EU) 2016/424, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part
of this document.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
a) 4.2.2 h) was added due to the unsuitability of one procedure.
b) The classification of Clause 5 has been changed in order to implement the term “precommissioning
inspection” consistently with 3.1.
c) Clause 5 has been changed in order to clarify the differences between the two categories of
documents (documents by which the planned configuration of the installation is established, and
documents which the suppliers have to provide to the controller).
d) 5.2 has been deleted, as it is already included in the modified 5.1.
e) 5.3 g) was inserted.
f) The order of the list in 5.3 was adapted to the Regulation (EU) 2016/424 and to Section 6.
g) In the last paragraph of 5.3, the independent competent person has been deleted, as this is a matter
for the national members.
h) In 5.3 m) the pre-commissioning inspection has been deleted because it conflicts with the title and
the performance of recovery exercises as determined in national regulations and/or in EN 1909.
i) The final paragraph of 5.4 has been deleted as it is already covered in EN 12397.
j) In 6.1, the requirements for documenting maintenance work have been combined and extended in
one place.
k) 6.1.1 (new 6.1.2) has been changed, as, in accordance with 5.5, suppliers are required to provide
instructions for maintenance.
l) 6.1.4 was inserted, so that Annex ZA is still possible.
4

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

SIST EN 1709:2019
EN 1709:2019 (E)
m) The definition of inspection in 6.3.1 has been supplemented with information concerning the time
requirements. This definition is now not the same as the term “inspection” in EN 1907.
n) The requirements in 6.3.1 for civil engineering works are generally applicable and have been
expanded to include all parts of the installation.
o) In 6.3.2 and 6.3.5, the visual inspection of screws and rivets for tightness has been changed to cover
loose and missing elements, and the visual inspection with regard to deformation has been extended
to include all components.
p) In 6.3.3, a), c), i), k) and parts of m) have been omitted and a stipulation of switching cabinet
cleanliness requirements included. The order of the list was adapted to Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
q) In 6.3.5, the order of the lists has been changed to comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/424 and a
clause concerning mobile evacuation equipment has been included.
r) 6.3.5.2 has been supplemented with detailed requirements for timber structures and for the terrain
in the vicinity of the civil engineering works.
s) Most of the requirements for funicular railways originally included in 6.3.6 are generally applicable
and have been extended to include all cableway systems. In order to create a comprehensible
qualitative difference with respect to the annual inspections in accordance with 6.3.5.2, inspection
by a competent person was introduced for the multiannual inspection of engineering structures
(tunnels, galleries, bridges) and ground anchors.
t) The intervals and the inspection methodology were changed in 6.3.7.
u) The requirements relating to the civil engineering works in 6.4 have been omitted, as they repeat
similar requirements in this Standard.
v) 6.5 has been deleted without replacement.
w) The terms and organization of Clause 7 have been revised. In addition, it was decided that the
supplier’s instructions in accordance with 5.5 shall include the stated operational inspections.
x) Clause 8 has been deleted, as it is already covered in other areas of the Standard.
y) The scope of the Standard was changed from “Maintenance and operational inspections” to
“Instructions for maintenance and operational inspections”.

SIST EN 1709 : 2019

Predgovor k evropskemu standardu

Ta dokument (EN 1709:2019) je pripravil tehnični odbor CEN/TC 242 Varnostne zahteve za žičniške
naprave za prevoz oseb, katerega sekretariat vodi AFNOR.

Ta evropski standard mora dobiti status nacionalnega standarda bodisi z objavo istovetnega besedila
bodisi z razglasitvijo najpozneje do novembra 2019, nasprotujoče nacionalne standarde pa je treba
razveljaviti najpozneje do novembra 2019.

Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da je lahko nekaj elementov tega dokumenta predmet patentnih pravic.
CEN ne prevzema odgovornosti za identifikacijo nekaterih ali vseh takih patentnih pravic.

Ta dokument nadomešča standard EN 1709:2004.

Ta dokument je bil pripravljen v okviru mandata, ki sta ga Evropska komisija in Evropsko združenje za
prosto trgovino dodelila CEN, ter podpira bistvene zahteve Uredbe (EU) 2016/424.

Za povezavo tega standarda z Uredbo (EU) 2016/424 glej informativni dodatek ZA, ki je sestavni del
tega dokumenta.

Glavne spremembe v primerjavi s predhodno izdajo so naslednje:

a) točka 4.2.2 h) je dodana zaradi neustreznosti enega postopka;

b) klasifikacija točke 5 je spremenjena zaradi uvedbe izraza "prevzemni pregled" skladno s točko 3.1;

c) točka 5 je spremenjena, da se pojasnijo razlike med dvema kategorijama dokumentov (dokumenti,
ki določajo načrtovano konfiguracijo naprave, in dokumenti, ki jih morajo dobavitelji posredovati
upravljavcu);

d) točka 5.2 je izbrisana, saj je že vključena v spremenjeni točki 5.1;

e) točka 5.3 g) je dodana;

f) vrstni red seznama v točki 5.3 je povzet po Uredbi (EU) 2016/424 in točki 6;

g) v zadnjem odstavku točke 5.3 je izbrisano "neodvisna strokovna oseba", saj to ureja vsaka država
članica sama;

h) v točki 5.3 m) je izbrisan prevzemni pregled, saj je v nasprotju z naslovom in izvajanjem nalog na
področju odprave posledic, kot določajo nacionalni predpisi in/ali standard EN 1909;

i) zadnji odstavek točke 5.4 je izbrisan, saj je že zajet v standardu EN 12397;

j) v točki 6.1 so zahteve za dokumentiranje vzdrževalnih del združene na enem mestu in razširjene;

k) točka 6.1.1 (nova točka 6.1.2) je spremenjena, saj morajo dobavitelji zagotoviti navodila za
vzdrževanje v skladu s točko 5.5;

l) točka 6.1.4 je dodana, tako da je dodatek ZA še vedno mogoč;

m) definicija pregleda v točki 6.3.1 je dopolnjena z informacijami glede časovnih zahtev. Ta definicija
zdaj ni enaka izrazu "pregled" v standardu EN 1907;

n) zahteve v točki 6.3.1 za gradbene inženirske objekte so splošno veljavne in so razširjene, tako da
vključujejo vse dele naprave;

o) v točkah 6.3.2 in 6.3.5 je vizualni pregled pritrjenosti vijakov in zakovic spremenjen tako, da zajema
tudi razrahljane in manjkajoče elemente, vizualni pregled v zvezi z deformacijami pa je razširjen in
vključuje vse dele;

p) v točki 6.3.3 so izpuščene alineje a), c), i), k) in deli alineje m), vključeno pa je določilo za zahteve
glede čistosti stikalnih omar. Vrstni red je povzet po Uredbi (EU) 2016/424;

q) v točki 6.3.5 je vrstni red seznamov spremenjen, tako da je v skladu z Uredbo (EU) 2016/424,
4

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST EN 1709 : 2019

vključena pa je točka v zvezi s premičnimi napravami za reševanje;

r) točka 6.3.5.2 je dopolnjena s podrobnimi zahtevami za lesene konstrukcije in teren v bližini
gradbenih inženirskih objektov;

s) večina zahtev za vzpenjače, ki so prvotno vključene v točki 6.3.6, je splošno veljavnih in so
razširjene, tako da vključujejo vse žičniške naprave. Da bi dosegli zadostno kvalitativno razliko pri
letnih pregledih v skladu s točko 6.3.5.2, je za večletni pregled inženirskih objektov (tunelov, galerij,
mostov) in sider uveden pregled, ki ga izvaja usposobljena oseba;

t) v točki 6.3.7 so spremenjeni intervali in metodologija pregledov;

u) v točki 6.4 so izpuščene zahteve v zvezi z gradbenimi inženirskimi objekti, saj se podobne zahteve
v tem standardu ponavljajo;

v) točka 6.5 je izbrisana in ni nadomeščena;

w) izrazi in organizacija točke 7 so revidirani. Poleg tega je bilo sklenjeno, da morajo navodila
dobavitelja v skladu s točko 5.5 vključevati navedene kontrole obratovanja;

x) točka 8 je izbrisana, saj je njena vsebina že zajeta v drugih delih standarda;

y) področje uporabe tega standarda je spremenjeno iz "vzdrževanje in kontrole obratovanja" v
"navodila za vzdrževanje in kontrole obratovanja".
