ČSN EN 17639 This Type C standard document is to be used for fixed cableways driven by an electric motor and operating as single-cable or bi-cable aerial ropeways operating on a single-track or dual-track for transport - of goods to supply goods to and dispose of waste from mountain huts and shelters and - of specially designated persons. The particular characteristics of these cableways are their low usage (on average 6 trips per operating day), low speed (up to 4 m/s) and the limited group of people using the cableway. There is no transport obligation. This document is not applicable to: - cableways primarily designed, constructed or operated mainly for the transport of persons and subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/424; - portable cableways; - lifts; - funicular railways; - fixed and portable equipment used exclusively for leisure and enjoyment purposes and not for the transport of persons; - water ski lifts; - agricultural and forestry installations; - rope crane installations and crane installations; - mining installations or other installations set up and used for industrial purposes; - drilling equipment. This document deals with the significant hazards arising from the construction and operation of the aforementioned cableways and measures to eliminate or reduce these hazards, provided that these cableways are used in accordance with their intended purpose and that the remaining residual risk has been anticipated and accepted by the manufacturer. In the event that there are changes to the existing cableways, these changes shall be assessed in terms of their impact on safety in accordance with EN ISO 12100:2010. If this assessment shows that the intended changes do not constitute a significant change pursuant to the Machinery Directive, the requirements under this document shall apply in all cases to the assemblies/components concerned. In the following sections, for reasons of simplification, the term cableway is used on its own to cover the types of equipment covered by this standard. This document does not cover: - Hazards caused by noise, in particular by the release of airborne noise; - Hazards caused by vibration; - Explosion hazards; - Hazards caused by electromagnetic influences (EMC). NOTE 1 - Directive 2014/30/EU regarding electromagnetic compatibility may be used for machinery or components in accordance with this standard. This standard is not intended as a means of proving compliance with the basic health and safety requirements of the aforementioned directive or the aforementioned hazards. The requirements under this document do not apply to equipment and systems manufactured or placed on the market before the date that this document is published. |
