It does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods by rope or to inclined lifts. This standard doesnot deal with acceptance testing prior to opening to the public.

This part of the technical report specifies safety recommendations applicable to the prevention and fighting of
fires in funicular railways not in tunnels, aerial ropeways and ski-tows that may endanger the health and safety
of persons.
With regard to funicular railways, these recommendations are applicable to those not running in a tunnel and
having a pathway alongside the track that does not allow passengers to exit the carrier in less than 5 min. For
funicular railways where evacuation of the carrier can be completed within 5 min, the same recommendations
may be applied in part according to the results of the safety analysis of the installation.
With regard to these problems of fire, it is essential to take organizational measures relating to operation, but
these are not covered in this report.
Requirements for aerial ropeways operating in a tunnel may also be based on CEN/TR 14819-1.

This document defines general terms used in the safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons.
The document concerns terms used in the design, manufacture, erection, maintenance and operation of the installations and is restricted to:
-   those terms which form part of the vocabulary specific to these installations;
-   those terms, whether scientific, technical or in every day use, which have a particular meaning in this field or which it appears necessary to define in greater detail.
The terms apply both to a particular installation and to their components.
Terms which are specific to standards which are listed in the foreword are defined in each of these standards.
This document does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods, nor to inclined lifts.
In the application of this document, the following definitions are applicable and have been given the reference numbers below.

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to carriers for cableway installations designed to carry persons. This standard is applicable to the various types of installations and takes into account their environment.
It includes requirements relating to the prevention of accidents and the protection of workers.
This standard does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods nor to inclined lifts.

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to the operation for installations for passenger transportation by rope. Its requirements are to be met by taking into account the various types installations systems and their environment. This standard applies to the operation of an installation and to the passenger transport conditions.

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to carriers for cableway installations designed to carry persons. This standard is applicable to the various types of installations and takes into account their environment.
This Part describes the requirements to be met when testing the slipping resistance of grips clamped
-    on the haulage or carrying hauling rope of carriers of monocable or bicable aerial ropeways with fixed or detachable grips, covered by 7.4 of Part 1 of this standard;
-   on the towing rope of ski-tows with fixed grips, covered by 7.6.2 of Part 1 of this standard.
It does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods nor to inclined lifts.

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to carriers for cableway installations for
passenger transportation. This standard is applicable to the various types of installations and takes into
account their environment.
This European Standard sets out the requirements to be met for fatigue tests for carriers of unidirectional
monocable aerial ropeways of capacity not greater than 16 persons according to 6.3.3.1 of Part 1 of this
standard..
This standard does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods nor to inclined lifts.

The aim of this European Standard is to define the safety requirements which apply to the recovery of the carriers and to the evacuation of the passengers of cable ways. Its requirements shall be observed, taking into account the different installation systems and their environment. They do not apply to ski-tows. This standard establishes the requirements relating to the methods and equipment to be used to ensure the safety of passengers on cablewaysin the event of an extended stoppage of the installation.

This European Standard defines safety requirements for tensioning devices used in installations for passenger transportation by rope. Its requirements are to be met taking into account the different types of installations and their environments. This document applies to the design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and operation of rope tensioning devices and anchorages for cableways intended for passenger transportation. It includes requirements relative to the prevention of accidents and the protection of workers. It does not apply either to installations for the transport of goods or to inclined lifts.
