16、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, by July 2017 at the latest, and all confli
17、cting national standards shall be withdrawn no later than July 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights or similar rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying all or some of these patent ri
18、ghts. This document supersedes EN 1909:2004. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2000/9/EC. For the relationship with EU Directive 2000/9/EC, see informati
19、ve Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The most significant changes compared to the previous edition of EN 1909 are as follows: For Subclause 5.2.2 Danger factors: the factor “incompetence, unfitness, inattention or failure of those involved in evacuation operations” has been repla
20、ced by “human failure”. For Subclause 7.2 Transmission of information: addition of a requirement in the event that landline telephones are used in tunnels. For numbered entry 9.1.6: addition of a recommendation concerning the management of lighting and the precautions to be taken against fire. For S
21、ubclause 9.6.3: Use of helicopters: change of approach. The previous version of the standard defined precisely the methods and resources to be implemented (which did not always correspond to field practices). The new version of the standard only indicates the need for prior consultation between the
22、cableway operator and the organisation responsible for the helicopter. For Annex ZA (informative), Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2000/9/EC relating to cableway installations designed to carry persons: addition of two essential requirements
23、 of the Directive (4.4 and 7.3.2) in view of Clause 9.

BS EN 1909:2017EN 1909:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to the recovery of carriers and the evacuation of passengers from cableway installations designed to carry persons, with the e
32、xception of ski-tows. This standard is applicable to various types of installations and takes into account their environment. It establishes the requirements relating to the methods and equipment to be used to ensure the safety of passengers on cableways in the event of extended stoppage of the inst
33、allation. It covers only the situation resulting from immobilization of the carriers, even if the passengers are not in immediate danger. It does not cover specific operations resulting from an accident. It includes requirements relating to the prevention of accidents and to worker protection, witho
34、ut 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 by rope or to lifts. It does not deal with design requirements for carriers. 2 No

42、ations together with those of standards EN 1709, EN 1908, EN 12397, EN 12408, EN 12927 (all parts), EN 12929 (all parts), EN 12930, EN 13223, EN 13243, EN 13107 and EN 13796 (all parts). 5.2 Safety principles 5.2.1 General The safety principles set out in EN 12929-1 apply. In addition, the following
43、 hazard scenarios and safety measures relative to the scope of this document are to be taken into consideration. 5.2.2 Hazard scenarios The following events many lead to hazardous situations which may be avoided or reduced by the safety requirements of this document: prolonged exposure of persons to
44、 bad weather conditions, for example, wind, cold, heat, etc.; prolonged immobilization; human error; non-existence or inadequacy of organization; unsuitable, inadequate or improperly used equipment; unreasonable behaviour of the passengers; lack of self-sufficiency of the passengers. 5.2.3 Safety me
45、asures In order to prevent or reduce the risks arising from the hazard scenarios mentioned in 5.2.2, the following safety measures shall be taken. All cableways shall be designed, constructed and operated in such a way that, in the event of extended stoppage, it is possible to inform the passengers
46、quickly and to ensure their return to safety within a reasonable time, without compromising their safety or the safety of the evacuation personnel. In such circumstances, the carriers shall preferably be recovered. Failing this, the passengers shall be evacuated in accordance with the provisions of
47、the previously established evacuation plan. BS EN 1909:2017EN 1909:2017 (E) 7 6 General requirements for recovery and evacuation In the event of the installation being immobilized for a prolonged period of time, the head of operations shall inform and reassure the passengers. Within half an hour of
48、stoppage, the head of operations shall: either start recovery of the carriers; or initiate the evacuation of the passengers. The head of operations may, however: defer the starting of passenger evacuation if he is sure he will be able to implement the recovery of the carriers under the prevailing ci
49、rcumstances; continue with preparations for recovery of the carriers while the evacuation of the passengers is in progress and interrupt the latter when recovery of the carriers becomes possible. The anticipated total duration of all the operations specified in the evacuation plan shall not exceed 3 h and 30 min. If the safety analysis indicates that a shorter duration is needed, this should be taken into account. In the event that the number of operating personnel is insufficient to ens
