Safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons - General requirements - Part 1: Requirements for all installations

This part of EN 12929 specifies the safety requirements for 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 requirements applicable to bicable 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 cableways for the transportation of goods, nor to inclined lifts. 1.2 General principles 1.2.1 Stringent safety requirements are of the utmost importance for the design, construction, installation, maintenance and operation of cableway installations designed to carry persons. The design, construction, installation, maintenance and operation of cableways shall only be entrusted to contractors and experts who have the necessary knowledge and experience and who can ensure careful execution of the installation and proper management of the operation. All the components shall be calculated exactly, be of a good mechanical and electrical design and be manufactured from adequate, defect-free materials possessing the required characteristics. 1.2.2 All components shall be kept in working order and in good condition. Reference is also made to prEN 1709 and prEN 12397. 1.2.3 In addition to the European Standards specific to cableway installations, the relevant European specifications shall be used for the design, construction, installation, maintenance and operation of cableways.

Prescriptions de sécurité pour les installations à câbles transportant des personnes - Dispositions générales - Partie 1 : Prescriptions applicables à toutes les installations

1   Généralités
1.1   Domaine d'application
La présente partie de l’EN 12929 a pour objet les prescriptions de sécurité s'appliquant aux dispositions générales des installations de transports à câbles destinées aux personnes. Ces prescriptions tiennent compte des différents systèmes d'installations et de leur environnement.
Le présent document fixe des caractéristiques techniques générales et prescrit les principes de conception et les spécifications générales de sécurité.
Il ne traite ni des détails d'exploitation et de maintenance, ni des calculs et des détails de réalisation de constituants.
Il ne traite pas des prescriptions particulières applicables aux téléphériques bi-câbles à va et vient sans frein de chariot, celles-ci faisant l'objet de la 2ème partie.
Il comprend des prescriptions relatives à la prévention des accidents et à la protection des travailleurs.
Elle ne s'applique ni aux installations de transport à câble destinées aux marchandises, ni aux ascenseurs inclinés.
L’article 11 décrit des prescriptions minimales à prévoir de manière normative pour les voies de circulation et les zones de travail. Elles s’appliquent sans préjudice des prescriptions nationales dans le secteur de la construction, des dispositions ayant un caractère réglementaire ou destinées à la protection de groupes de personnes particuliers.
Il n’est pas possible de prévoir, sur tous les types de remontées mécaniques, le transport de tous les groupes de personnes particuliers (par ex. personnes à mobilité réduite). Pourtant l'objectif est de permettre à un maximum de personnes d’emprunter les remontées mécaniques.
1.2   Principes généraux
1.2.1   Des dispositions de sécurité d'un niveau élevé représentent une exigence fondamentale pour la conception, la réalisation, le montage, la maintenance et l'exploitation des remontées mécaniques.
La conception, la fabrication, la réalisation, le montage, la maintenance et l'exploitation des remontées mécaniques doivent être confiées à des entrepreneurs et experts disposant des connaissances et de l'expérience nécessaire et garantissant une réalisation soigneuse de l'installation et une direction correcte de l'exploitation.
Tous les constituants doivent être calculés exactement, leur conception mécanique et électrique doit être correcte et ils doivent être fabriqués avec des matériaux solides et sans défauts, ayant les caractéristiques exigées.
1.2.2   Tous les constituants doivent être maintenus dans un état de bon fonctionnement. À ce sujet, voir les EN 1709 et EN 12397.
1.2.3   En complément des Normes européennes spécifiques aux installations de transport à câbles, les spécifications européennes pertinentes doivent être utilisées pour leur conception, leur construction, leur montage, leur maintenance et leur exploitation.
1.2.4   Le présent document tient compte, dans certains cas, du comportement imprudent des personnes transportées. Dans tous les cas, on présume une utilisation correcte de la remontée mécanique, correspondant à sa destination, et non pas un mauvais usage de l'installation.
1.3   Exceptions
1.3.1   Des exceptions aux prescriptions des normes EN 1709, EN 1908, EN 1909, EN 12385-8, EN 12385-9, EN 12397, EN 12927, EN 12929-1, EN 12929-2, EN 12930, EN 13107, EN 13223, EN 13243, EN 13796-1, EN 13796-2 et EN 13796-3 sont possibles, notamment en cas d’innovations, si elles sont justifiées par une étude de sécurité et si elles offrent au moins le même niveau de sécurité.
1.3.2   Des exceptions aux prescriptions de ces normes sont également possibles dans le cas du remplacement de constituants sur des installations existantes.

This document replaces EN 12929-1:2004. 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 EU Directive 2000/9/EC. For the relationship with EU Directive 2000/9/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The following main changes have been made to EN 12929-1:2004:  In Clause 1 (formerly Subclause 1.1) supplementations have been made with regard to the protection of workers and the passenger circle.  In 4.2.1 (formerly Subclause 1.3.1) EN 12929-1 has also been included with regard to the exception to the requirements.  In Clause 3 the terms and definitions have been removed, as the reference to EN 1907 is sufficient.  The former Subclause 4.2.2 “Safety analysis” has been removed, as the requirements listed there are established in Directive 2000/9/EC.  In 5.2.2 the limit for the permissible transverse acceleration for funicular railways has been raised.  In 5.2.4 detailed regulations for establishing the passing loop of funicular railways have been included.  6.1 has been added and establishes the basic requirements for the limit profile. The following subclauses in Clause 6 have been promoted.  In 6.3.1 the general requirements for the limit profile have been supplemented to include aerial ropeways.  In 6.3.2 by changing the reduction coefficient, alignment with EN 12930:2014 has been achieved and the ice curtain for the lateral deviation of the ropes has been redefined.  In 6.3.4 the regulations with regard to the minimum values for the angle of the transverse sway of the carriers have been supplemented. 5 SIST EN 12929-1:2015



EN 12929-1:2015 (E)  In 6.3.5 the permissible impact speed for reversible aerial ropeways has been increased.  In 6.3.7 the regulations with regard to the guides have been adopted from the former 7.3.2, as the guides influence the limit profile. The regulations have been supplemented and clarified.  In 6.4.1 the regulations for the limit profile of ski-tows with regard to the combination of transverse and longitudinal sway have been established congruent to the aerial ropeways.  In 6.4.5 the regulations with regard to the rotation of tow-hangers have been clarified.  In 6.5 and 6.6 regulations with regard to the limit profile for signal cables, restraint ropes, marker ropes and ropes on evacuation railways have been adopted from EN 12930, whereby they are aligned with ropes on aerial ropeways.  7.1 has been revised in terms of content and structure.  7.3 has been revised in terms of content and structure and includes regulations regarding the safety distances which were previously covered in 7.5. The former 7.3.2 regarding guides has been moved to 6.3.7, as the limit profile is influenced by guides.  In 7.4 the assumptions for the verification of tracks for reversible aerial ropeways, for pulsed movement aerial ropeways and bi-cable aerial ropeways have been clarified.  In 7.5 regulations for ski-tows have been revised in terms of content and structure.  In 8.1.1 the maximum height above ground has been restricted to the height for a rope that is carrying passengers.  In 8.2 and 8.3 the height above ground for aerial ropeways has been revised in terms of content and structure.  In 9.2 the maximum operating speeds of cableway installations have been revised in terms of content and structure.  In 10.1.1 the regulations for the omission of a recovery drive have been concretised.  In 10.1.6 the regulations for the independence of the recovery drive from the main drive have been concretised.  In 10.2.4 the residual risk of a standstill caused by the on-board brakes has been taken into consideration.  In 10.3.2, the requirement for the arrangement of the emergency stop buttons which are accessible to all persons when entering and exiting ski-tows has been restricted.  In 10.3.4 the permissible stopping distances for ski-tows have been modified.  The previous point 10.3.5, which established the design of the brakes for ski-tows, has been deleted.  In 11.1.5 the requirements for work positions and passageways for operating personnel has been modified.  In 11.1.7 the distances between the carriers and the loading platform edge have been modified.  In 11.1.9 additional requirements have been included for the unloading areas of chairlifts. 6 SIST EN 12929-1:2015



EN 12929-1:2015 (E)  In 11.1.10 the height of the seat surface of chairlifts in the loading and unloading areas has been modified.

SIST EN 12929-1 : 2015

Predgovor

Ta dokument (EN 12929-1:2015) je pripravil tehnični odbor CEN/TC 242 Varnostne zahteve za prevoz
oseb z žičniškimi napravami, katerega sekretariat vodi AFNOR.

Ta evropski standard mora dobiti status nacionalnega standarda bodisi z objavo istovetnega besedila
bodisi z razglasitvijo najpozneje do julija 2015, nasprotujoče nacionalne standarde pa je treba razveljaviti
najpozneje julija 2015.

Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da so lahko nekateri elementi tega dokumenta predmet patentnih pravic.
CEN [in/ali CENELEC] ni odgovoren za ugotavljanje katerihkoli ali vseh takih patentnih pravic.

Ta dokument nadomešča standard EN 12929-1:2004.

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 Direktive EU 2000/9/ES.

Za povezavo z Direktivo EU 2000/9/ES glej informativni dodatek ZA, ki je sestavni del tega dokumenta.

Glavne spremembe v primerjavi s standardom EN 12929-1:2004 so naslednje:

– v točki 1 (prej podtočka 1.1) so dodane dopolnitve v zvezi z zaščito delavcev in prevažanjem
potnikov;

 v točki 4.2.1 (prej podtočka 1.3.1) je dodan standard EN 12929-1 v zvezi z izjemami pri zahtevah;

 iz točke 3 so odstranjeni izrazi in definicije, ker zadostuje sklicevanje na standard EN 1907;

 prejšnja podtočka 4.2.2 »Analiza varnosti« je odstranjena, ker so zahteve iz te podtočke podane v
Direktivi 2000/9/ES;

 v točki 5.2.2 je omejitev glede dovoljenega prečnega pospeška vzpenjač povečana;

 v točki 5.2.4 so dodana podrobna določila za ureditev izogibališč vzpenjač;

 točka 6.1 je dodana in določa osnovne zahteve za mejni profil. Naslednje podtočke v točki 6 so
razširjene:

 v točki 6.3.1 so splošne zahteve za mejni profil dopolnjene, tako da vključujejo nihalne žičnice;

 v točki 6.3.2 je s spremembo koeficienta zmanjšanja dosežena skladnost s standardom
EN 12930:2014, ledena prevleka za bočni premik vrvi pa je ponovno opredeljena;

 v točki 6.3.4 so določila glede najmanjših vrednosti kota prečnega nihanja vozil dopolnjena;

 v točki 6.3.5 je povečana dovoljena hitrost trka za dvosmerne nihalne žičnice;

Foreword
This document (prEN 12929-1:2013) has been prepared by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 242 “Safety
requirements for passenger transportation by rope”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted for CEN enquiry.
This document is intended to replace EN 12929-1:2004.
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 EU Directives.
For the relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
The following main changes have been made to EN 12929-1:2004:
In 1.1 supplementations have been made with regard to the protection of workers and the passenger
circle.
In 1.3.1 EN 12929-1 has also been included with regard to the exception to the requirements.
In Clause 3 the terms and definitions have been removed, as the reference to EN 1907:2012 is sufficient.
The former 4.2.2 “Safety analysis” has been removed, as the requirements listed there are established in
Directive 2000/9/EC.
In 5.2.2 the limit for the permissible transverse acceleration for funicular railways has been raised.
In 5.2.4 detailed regulations for establishing the passing loop of funicular railways have been included.
6.1 has been added and establishes the basic requirements for the limit profile. The following subclauses
in Clause 6 have been promoted.
In 6.3.1 the general requirements for the limit profile have been supplemented to include aerial ropeways.
In 6.3.2 by changing the reduction coefficient, alignment with EN 12930:2012 has been achieved and the
ice curtain for the lateral deviation of the ropes has been redefined.
In 6.3.4 the regulations with regard to the minimum values for the angle of the transverse sway of the
carriers have been supplemented.
In 6.3.5 the permissible impact speed for reversible aerial ropeways has been increased.
In 6.3.7 the regulations with regard to the guides have been adopted from the former 7.3.2, as the guides
influence the limit profile. The regulations have been supplemented and clarified.
In 6.4.1 the regulations for the limit profile of ski-tows with regard to the combination of transverse and
longitudinal sway have been established congruent to the aerial ropeways.
In 6.4.5 the regulations with regard to the rotation of platters, T-bars or rods have been clarified.

In 6.5 and 6.6 regulations with regard to the limit profile for signal cables, restraint ropes, marker ropes
and ropes on evacuation railways have been adopted from EN 12930, whereby they are aligned with
ropes on aerial ropeways.
7.1 has been revised in terms of content and structure.
7.3 has been revised in terms of content and structure and includes regulations regarding the safety
distances which were previously covered in 7.5. The former 7.3.2 regarding guides has been moved to
6.3.7, as the limit profile is influenced by guides.
In 7.4 the assumptions for the verification of tracks for reversible aerial ropeways, for pulsed movement
aerial ropeways and bi-cable aerial ropeways have been clarified.
The safety distances for aerial ropeways covered in the former 7.5 has been moved to 7.3 and revised in
terms of content.
In 7.5 regulations for ski-tows have been revised in terms of content and structure.
In 8.1 the maximum height above ground has been restricted to the height for a rope that is carrying
passengers.
In 8.2 and 8.3 the height above ground for aerial ropeways has been revised in terms of content and
structure.
In 9.2 the maximum operating speeds of cableway installations have been revised in terms of content and
structure.
In 10.1.1 the regulations for the omission of a recovery drive have been concretised.
In 10.1.6 the regulations for the independence of the recovery drive from the main drive have been
concretised.
In 10.3.4 the permissible stopping distances for ski-tows have been modified.
In 11.1.5 the requirements for work positions and passageways for employees has been modified.
In 11.1.7 the distances between the carriers and the loading platform edge have been modified.
In 11.1.9 additional requirements have been included for unloading areas for cableway installations.
In 11.1.10 the height of the seat surface of chairlifts in the loading and unloading areas has been
modified.
In 11.2.3 the execution of the stabilisation area, the safety area and the ramp after the loading area has
been modified.
In 11.2.11 the occupation instructions in the area of the valley station of chairlifts and the reference to the
relevant Standard have been modified.
In 11.3.2 the requirements for unloading areas of chairlifts have been modified and supplemented.
In 11.3.4 for the limits of the height above ground in the approach area the option of locking system have
been taken into consideration.
In 11.3.5 the regulations for the ramps after the unloading area of chairlifts have been clarified.
