European foreword
This document (EN 12929-2:2015+A1:2022) 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 April 2023, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2023.
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 has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EU
Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For the relationship with the EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an
integral part of this document.
This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 18 August 2022.
This document supersedes !EN 12929-2:2015".
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".
In comparison to EN 12929-2:2004, the following main changes have been made:
— In 6.3, the requirement has been removed that stipulates that for the tension safety factor the haul
rope loop shall comply with 1,2 times the value of the tension safety factor for haul ropes of bicable
reversible aerial ropeways with carrier track brakes in accordance with EN 12930, as the value
established from this was only slightly above 4,5. The requirement for the maximum tension safety
factor was clarified on the area of the long splicing.
— In 6.4 b) 1), the value for the smallest permissible tension safety factor has been adapted to comply
with the state of the art.
— In 6.6, the requirement has been removed that stipulates that the device shall be available for the
MRT inspection of the installation, as this is not safety-related.
— The previous Clauses 6.13, 6.14, 6.17, 6.20, 6.22, 6.27, 7.3, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9 and 8.6 have been deleted
without replacement, as there was no safety-relevant justifications for supplementary requirements
with regard to bicable aerial ropeway with carrier track brakes.
— In 6.13, the alternative has been removed regarding taking into consideration the actually executed
transverse sway options.
— In 7.2, the increased requirement on the groove depth of the rollers of the carrier truck has been
removed, as the transverse sway movement of the carrier truck was restricted.
— In 7.3, the value for the assumed longitudinal sway has been slightly reduced to the value that is
assumed in accordance with EN 12929-1 and the formula adapted.
— In 7.6, the requirement on the equipment for bringing the cableway system to a standstill from the
cabin have been redefined.
— In 8.2, the value for the safety has been reduced, as in 8.1 a redundant execution is required and
therefore in the event of a system failure a safety of 1,5 is still provided. The terms and definitions
have been adapted to EN 13796-1.
— In 8.4, the terms and definitions have been adapted to EN 13796-1.
— In 8.6, the requirements on the gripping force for reducing the diameter of the haul rope has been
modified by 20 %, as the former regulation contained disproportionately high requirements for the
execution of the grip.
— In Annex A, the A-deviation for Germany has been removed.
— In Annex ZA, the relationships with the basic requirements of the Directive 2000/9/EC have been
adapted to the new numbering.
!In comparison to EN 12929-2:2015, the Annex A on A-deviations has been removed."
