The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This European standard specifies safety requirements for electrical devices including application software, apart for those in drive systems for cableway installations designed to carry persons. This standard is applicable to the various types of cableway installations and takes into account their environment. It does not apply to complex electronics and embedded software.
For complex electronics and embedded software, reference is made to the relevant publications e.g. EN 61508.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is not covered in this standard; cableways and their components should comply with general requirements for EMC.
For electrical devices which are part of drive systems, the requirements of those sections listed in the scope of EN 13223 as relating to drive systems should be observed.
This standard contains requirements for the prevention of accidents and protection of workers without prejudice to the application of national regulations.
