EN 12397:2017 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 12397:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC
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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12397:2004. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to the CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s) 2000/9/EC. For relationship with EU Directive 2000/9/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The most significant changes compared to the previous edition of EN 12397 are as follows:
insufficient or inappropriate additional
For subclause 4.2.4 Occupational safety: reorganisation of the provisions applicable to occupational safety.
Removal of subclauses 5.4.2 and 5.6 and creation of a specific section which defines the principles of a risk prevention process (risk identification/risk assessment/implementation of preventive measures) and identifies the key risks encountered when operating ski lifts from workstations.
For subclause 5.2.2 Role of the operations manager: addition of a role relating to the consideration of environmental requirements with regard to operations.
For subclause 5.2.3 Role of the driver: addition of the option, when drivers are not busy performing driving duties, for them to act as monitors for the loading and unloading of passengers.
For subclause 5.4 Operational inspections: removal of provisions on maintenance which belong to a different standard.
For subclause 5.8 Preventing and fighting fire: addition of a section.
For subclause 6.2.3 Ski and leisure tow systems, luggage, miscellaneous items and animals: removal of detailed rules and definition of a general principle which gives the operations manager scope to make the transport arrangements.
For subclause 6.3 Passenger behaviour: amendment of the wording on the form. The previous version was intended for passengers; the new wording is aimed at operators. This document forms part of the standards program adopted by the CEN Technical Committee on safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons.

EN 12397:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to the operation of installations for passenger transportation by cable. This standard is applicable to the various types of installations and takes into account their environment. This European Standard applies to the operation of an installation and to the passenger transport conditions and also contains requirements for passengers. It is applicable to individual installations or a set of installations. It does not cover legal provisions for the transport service nor transport obligations.
It includes requirements relating to the prevention of accidents and protection for workers, as well as to fire prevention and fire-fighting, without affecting the application of national requirements relating to construction law or statutory law, or to the protection of specific groups of people. It does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods nor to lifts. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 12397:2017 (E) 8 4.2.4 Safety of workers In order to ensure the safety and protect the wellbeing of workers, risks shall be identified and evaluated, and corresponding preventive actions implemented for all operations and activities connected with the operation. The table below identifies the main risks encountered during the operation of mechanical lifts and correlates them with the different workplaces. This table, which should be used as an example, does not provide an exhaustive listing of the risks and workplaces. It will therefore be necessary to perform a specific analysis of each installation.
