Safety recommendations for cableway installations designed to carry persons - Prevention and fight against fire - Part 2: Other funicular railways and other installations
This part of the technical report specifies safety recommendations applicable to the prevention and fighting of fires in funicular railways not in tunnels, aerial ropeways and ski-tows that may endanger the health and safety of persons.
With regard to funicular railways, these recommendations are applicable to those not running in a tunnel and having a pathway alongside the track that does not allow passengers to exit the carrier in less than 5 min. For funicular railways where evacuation of the carrier can be completed within 5 min, the same recommendations
may be applied in part according to the results of the safety analysis of the installation. With regard to these problems of fire, it is essential to take organizational measures relating to operation, but these are not covered in this report.
Requirements for aerial ropeways operating in a tunnel may also be based on CEN/TR 14819-1.

Recommandations de sécurité pour les installations a câbles transportant des personnes - Prévention et lutte contre les incendies - Partie 2 : Autres funiculaires et autres installations
La présente partie du rapport technique établit les recommandations de sécurité s'appliquant a la prévention et a la lutte contre l'incendie des funiculaires sans tunnel, des téléphériques et des téléskis pouvant mettre en danger la sécurité et la santé des personnes.
Concernant les funiculaires, ces recommandations sont applicables a ceux ne possédant pas de tunnel, et dont le cheminement le long de la voie ne permet pas une sortie des passagers du véhicule en moins de 5 minutes. Pour les funiculaires dont l'évacuation du véhicule se fait en moins de 5 minutes, les memes recommandations peuvent etre appliquées en partie suivant les résultats de l'étude de sécurité de l'installation.
Vis a vis de ces problemes d'incendie, il est nécessaire de prendre des mesures d'organisation qui relevent de l'exploitation mais ceci n'est pas traité dans le présent rapport.
Les téléphériques fonctionnant en tunnel pourront aussi s'inspirer du CEN/TR 14819-1.

4 General recommendations
4.1 Application of this technical report
The recommendations in this part of the technical report apply to funicular railways not in tunnels, aerial
ropeways and ski-tows intended for persons.
4.2 Safety principles
4.2.1 General
The safety principles formulated in EN 12929-1 apply.
In addition, the hazard scenarios and safety measures relating to the scope of this document are to be taken
into account.
4.2.2 Hazard scenarios
The following events may bring about hazardous situations that may be avoided or limited by the
recommendations in this technical report:
fire in a carrier;
fire in the area of the line;
fire in a station, particularly in a machinery space, an electrical power supply space or a control point;
fire outside the installation or in adjacent premises or buildings;
lack or inadequacy of evacuation routes in the stations or along the line;
inappropriate behaviour by persons.
NOTE A certain time may be needed for external rescue services to arrive on site as a result of the location of the
situation and meteorological conditions.
4.2.3 Safety measures
Safety measures should be taken to eliminate the hazard scenarios listed in 4.2.2 and to:
ensure that the passengers in a carrier or persons in the stations avoid being injured by fire or choked by
smoke;
avoid falling, impact or uncontrolled movement of the aerial ropeway carriers in the event of a fire;
avoid the rope of a ski-tow falling in the event of a fire.
The measures listed in this technical report are design and operational measures intended to:
avoid a fire resulting in damage to the installation;
minimize the thermal loads in the installation;
limit the damaging effects of a fire on safety components by timely detection, alarm and firefighting;
8
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST-TP CEN/TR 14819-2:2006
CEN/TR 14819-2:2005 (E)
define adequate characteristics (in particular, reaction to fire and fire resistance) of the safety components
taking into account thermal stressing in the event of a fire in the installation;
provide a fire resistant separation between adjoining areas for an adequate period of time;
install adequate escape routes in stations and along the line;
provide personnel and passengers with suitable instructions;
ensure personnel are competent in matters relating to fire prevention and firefighting.
5 Basic recommendations
5.1 Measures should be taken:
to prevent or hinder the initiation of a fire and its spread;
to prevent a carrier in which a fire has been started from leaving the station and to evacuate the
passengers on board.
5.2 If a fire starts:
a) in a funicular carriage:
1) the priority is to evacuate the carrier in less than 5 min. If the installation does not allow this the
priority is then recovery;
2) in certain cases, evacuation on foot will remain possible; technical and organizational measures
should be provided for this.
b) on an aerial ropeway with persons on the line, the priority should be to proceed to recovery: the
installation should not be stopped. In the event of an unintentional stop, efforts should be made to ensure
that the installation can be restarted very rapidly;
c) in a station or along the route of a ski-tow with persons on the line, suitable operational measures should
be taken for evacuation in the event of a fire;
d) it should also be possible to protect and evacuate persons in stations in all cases.
5.3 The safety analysis for the installation should take into account the risk of fire and indicate in what way the
safety recommendations in this document should be met.
5.4 When the priority is the recovery of the carriers in the event of a fire, care should be taken in particular to
keep the following components able to function:
carriers;
ropes and end fixings;
tensioning devices;
drive wheel, particularly the lining of the drive wheel;
drive systems and brakes;
electrotechnical devices (power supply, control, communication, monitoring devices);
9
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST-TP CEN/TR 14819-2:2006
CEN/TR 14819-2:2005 (E)
line structures and stations;
evacuation routes from the stations;
communication devices between the passengers, conductor and control point.
5.5 In the application of the safety recommendations, account should be taken of the type of cableway, of all
its immediate infrastructure and of its location and the nature of the construction of the station buildings.
5.6 Whatever the technical measures taken and, in particular, those contained in this part of the technical
report, the haul ropes will be the subject of permanent attention in the event of a fire. Care should also be
taken to ensure that any construction elements falling as a result of a fire cannot damage the ropes during the
time required for recovery.
6 Recommendations concerning fire prevention and firefighting in carriers
6.1 Materials
For the funicular railways, it is recommended that the materials meet the requirements of the relevant parts of
prEN 45545 or, whilst awaiting their publication, of national standards covering the same subject.
For aerial ropeways, it is recommended
a) either materials according to EN 13501-1 should be used as follows:
1) enclosed carriers
carrying structure: class B;
wall coverings, windows: class C;
internal covering: class C;
floor covering: class C
II.
2) open carriers
carrying structure: class B;
wall covering and chairs: class C;
bodies: class C
b) or it should be demonstrated that fire in a carrier does not put the ropes at risk during the recovery period.
6.2 Electrical cabinets
It is recommended that:
either the electrical conductors and components should meet the requirements of prEN 45545-1 and be
fitted with electrical overload protection devices;
or automatic detection and extinguishing devices should be installed in the cabinets. These devices
should be capable of being triggered manually.
10
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST-TP CEN/TR 14819-2:2006
CEN/TR 14819-2:2005 (E)
In principle, the electrical cabinets should not contain any hydraulic devices. However, if this is absolutely
necessary, an automatic detection and extinguishing device should be provided in the cabinet.
It is recommended that only metallic electrical cabinets with locking devices that can only be opened by the
personnel should be used. With regard to protecting the cabinets against heat or fire, it is recommended that
they should meet the requirements of prEN 45545-3.
6.3 Cabling outside the electrical cabinets and lighting
It is recommended that the cabling should meet the requirements of prEN 45545-1 and EN 50264-1 and be
protected by electrical overload protection devices.
For funicular railways, it is recommended that the cables should be run in metallic ducts.
Crossings between the routes of electric cables and hydraulic piping should be avoided as far as possible.
It is recommended that lighting devices should meet the requirements of the specific standards applicable to
guided transport systems for carrying persons.
6.4 Batteries
If batteries with electrolyte are used, it is recommended that the latter should be in the form of a gel in order to
limit the risk of explosion.
To avoid the carrier stopping as a result of a supply fault in a safety cabinet, it is recommended that each
block of batteries should have its own electrical protection (for example, fuse) and that if there are several
blocks, they should be physically separated. The blocks of batteries should also either be separated in a
leaktight manner from the passenger compartments or be placed in trays that are adequately ventilated to
avoid a discharge of gas into the passenger compartment of the carriers. The integrity of the separation
should be classified as REI 15.
6.5 Battery chargers
It is recommended that chargers should be separated in a leaktight manner from the passenger compartments,
or in an adequately ventilated space avoiding any discharge of fumes into the passenger compartment. The
integrity of the separation should be classified as REI 15.
The installation of a temperature rise detector is recommended.
6.6 Video equipment (camera, monitor)
It is recommended that the voltage of the equipment should be less than 50 V and that the standards relating
to this equipment should be applied.
It is recommended that cathode ray tubes should not be permitted.
6.7 Heating, air conditioning
It is recommended that this should conform to prEN 45545-4 and that the impossibility of placing any object on
the heating/air conditioning device should be demonstrated.
6.8 Electrical components outside cabinets which are energized during travel (dynamos,
alternators, motors)
It is recommended that these components should be protected (principally by thermal relays).

CEN/TR 14819-2:2005 (E)
It is recommended that these components should be separated physically from flammable elements and from
safety electrical cabinets whilst avoiding any discharge of smoke into the passenger compartment.
6.9 Pantographs
It is recommended that the relevant requirements for metros and light rail carriers in EN 50206-2 should be
applied.
