28、ies the safety requirements applicable on the tensioning devices for cableway installations designed to carry persons. This document is applicable to the various types of cableway installation and takes into account their environment. This document applies to the design, manufacture, installation, m
29、aintenance and operation of rope tensioning devices and anchorages of cableway installations designed to carry persons. It also includes requirements relating to accident prevention and to the protection of workers irrespective of the application of national regulations. National regulations of a co
30、nstruction or regulatory nature or those which serve to protect specific groups of persons remain unaffected. This European Standard does not apply to cableway installations intended for the transport of goods nor to lifts. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are nor

39、 EN 13796 (all parts). 4.2 Safety principles 4.2.1 General The safety principles set out in EN 12929-1 apply. In addition, the following hazard scenarios and safety measures relative to the scope of this document are to be taken into consideration. 4.2.2 Hazard scenarios The following events may lea
40、d to hazardous situations which may be avoided or limited by the safety requirements of this document: 1) exceeding permissible rope tension forces and rope lengths; 2) exceeding permissible pressure limits in a hydraulic tensioning device; 3) affecting the free movement of ropes; 4) jamming, wedgin
41、g or incorrect positioning of the moving parts of a tensioning device; 5) deterioration or failure of the components of a tensioning device due to wear, corrosion or fatigue; 6) failure of components in a tensioning device as a result of incorrect dimensioning; 7) hazards which a tensioning device c
42、an present for persons in access and work areas; 8) foreseeable misconduct of personnel (passengers, operating personnel, third parties). 4.2.3 Safety measures The following safety measures shall be taken to eliminate the hazard scenarios listed under 4.2.2: ensure that rope tensions are maintained
43、within permissible limits; 7 BS EN 1908:2015EN 1908:2015 (E) prevent or avert the failure of safety-related mechanical and hydraulic components as well as force and pressure measurement systems; prevent and detect the malfunction of tensioning devices; protect persons against the risk of falling or
44、of contact with moving parts of tensioning devices; prevent non-permissible load conditions in the event of a tensioning device failure. 5 General requirements for tensioning devices 5.1 Purpose of tensioning devices Tensioning devices shall maintain the tension in a rope within pre-established perm
45、issible limits. 5.2 Travel 5.2.1 Dimensioning 5.2.1.1 The travel of a tensioning device shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of EN 12930. The following shall be taken into consideration in the calculations: a) the variation in length of the ropes to be tensioned at a temperature d
46、ifference of 60 C, unless the climatic conditions at the site of the installation require a greater temperature difference to be considered; b) a permanent rope elongation of 0,5 in the case of track ropes and 1,5 for carrying-hauling ropes and haul ropes, provided no precise technical Statements ha
47、ve been provided by the rope manufacturer. The available travel shall enable a renewal of a splice or the installation of new rope end fixings. 5.2.1.2 If the position of a counterweight or a hydraulic tensioning device is adjustable, the travel of the counterweight or cylinder stroke may be calcula
48、ted assuming a temperature difference of 30 C, and the length required for renewing a splice or for installing new end fixings need not be taken into account. The adjustment device shall be able to accommodate at least the travel required by 5.2.1.1 a) to b). For other adjustable tensioning devices,
49、 this provision may be applied as appropriate. 5.2.2 Free movement Free movement of a tensioning device shall be assured in all permissible operating conditions, in particular with regard to the effects of bad weather. 5.2.3 Limits 5.2.3.1 Travel shall be limited by means of mechanical stops; 5.2.3.2 Under all normal operating conditions, tensioning devices shall not reach the mechanical stops; 5.2.3.3 The operating limit positions of all travel shall be monitored; The triggering of a travel lim
