Overview

This European Standard EN 13107:2015 "Safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons - Civil engineering works" has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 242 "Safety requirements for passenger transportation by rope", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR and replaces EN 13107:2004. This European Standard DIN EN 13107:2015 specifies the safety requirements applicable to civil engineering works for cableway installations designed to carry persons. In doing so, the various types of cableway installations and their environment are taken into consideration. It includes requirements relating to the prevention of accidents and the protection of workers, notwithstanding the application of national regulations. National regulations regarding building or construction or that are designed to protect particular groups of people remain unaffected. It does not apply to cableway installations for transportation of goods or to lifts. This European Standard is applicable to: - new cableway installations designed to carry persons; - alterations to existing cableway installations, as far as the safety of civil engineering works or parts of them is involved and no contrary specifications apply. This European Standard is part of a series of standards concerning safety requirements for cableway installations designed for passenger transport. This series consists of the following standards: - EN 1907, relating to Terminology - EN 12929 (all parts), relating to General requirements - EN 12930, relating to Calculations - EN 12927 (all parts), relating to Cables - EN 1908, relating to Tensioning devices - EN 13223, relating to Drive systems and other mechanical equipment - EN 13796 (all parts), relating to Carriers - EN 13243, relating to Electrical equipment other than for drive systems - EN 13107, relating to Civil engineering works - EN 1709, relating to Pre-commissioning inspection, maintenance, operational inspection and checks - EN 1909, relating to Recovery and evacuation - EN 12397, relating to Operation - EN 12408, relating to Quality control. Together these form a series of standards applicable to the design, manufacturer, installation, maintenance and operation of cableway installations designed for passenger transport. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 087-00-16 AA "Seilbahnen" ("Ropeways") at DIN Standards Committee Railway (FSF).
