Abstract

This documnet applies to permanent material ropeways as monocable double-cable aerial ropeways in one-lane or two-lane operation for transporting - goods to and away from shelters and mountain huts and - specifically designated persons. This document does not apply to: - Ropeways that are primarily designed, installed or operated for transporting persons and subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/424; - Non-permanent material ropeways; - Lifts; - Fixed and mobile equipment that only serves for leisure and pleasure purposes and not the transportation of persons; - Water ski lift installations; - Agricultural and forestry installations; - Rope crane and crane installations; - Mining installations or other installations built and used for industrial purposes; - Drilling installations. It covers the significant hazards resulting during the construction and operation of material ropeways as well as measures for rectifying these hazards or their reduction, insofar as the material ropeways are used as intended and the residual risks have been envisaged and considered by the manufacturer. A complete list of all hazards according to EN ISO 12100:2010 is given in Annex A. The requirements of this document do not apply for equipment and systems that were manufactured and circulated before the date of appearance of this document. In case of modification to existing material ropeways, these requirements shall be evaluated in respect to their safety relevance according to EN ISO 12100:2010. If this evaluation reveals that the intended modifications do not represent any essential change as defined by the Machinery Directive, the requirements of this document shall be fulfilled by at least the relevant assemblies/components. In the following clauses, for reasons of simplification, only the word ropeway is used for the types of installations covered by this standard. This document does not cover: - Noise hazards; - Hazards due to vibration; - Hazards due to explosion; - Hazards due to electromagnetic interference (EMC). NOTE Directive 2014/30/EU in respect to electromagnetic compatibility can be applied for machines and components according to this document. The present document is not envisaged as a means for validating correspondence with the basic health and safety requirements of the above directive or the above hazards.
