European foreword
This European Standard (EN 13796-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 242
“Safety requirements for passenger transportation by rope”, 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 September 2017 at the latest, and all conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn no later than September 2017.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 rights.
This document supersedes EN 13796-1:2005.
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 informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part
of this document.
EN 13796 comprises the following parts under the general title Safety requirements for cableway
installations designed to carry persons – Carriers:
— Part 1: Grips, carrier trucks, on-board brakes, cabins, chairs, carriages, maintenance carriers, tow-
hangers
— Part 2: Slipping resistance test for grips
— Part 3: Fatigue tests.
The main changes to the previous edition of EN 13796-1 are the following:
— in 6.2.3, the subclause has been reorganized to clarify its application, and the force coefficient
values for verifying the effects of wind have been changed;
— in 6.2.15, 11.2.1.1, 11.2.1.2 and 12.1.2, the calculation of the walls and the definition of the loads to
be taken into consideration for this calculation have been changed to take account of service
experience and so as not to differentiate the dimensioning of the walls based on the position of the
passengers (seated or standing);
— in 6.3.3.2.2 a) 2) and 6.3.3.2.3, clarifications of the dynamic stresses have been provided to be taken
into account when carriers pass through stations;
— addition of 6.7 concerning fire prevention and firefighting;
— in 7.2.2.3, the subclause was rewritten to clarify its application;
— in 7.3.4, the tolerances on the geometry of the grooves of the haulage rope fixing drum are made
consistent with those relating to the rope diameters defined in EN 12385-8;
— in 7.4.2.3, the taper angle values have been changed to comply with the values in the EN 12927
series;

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
SIST EN 13796-1:2017
EN 13796-1:2017 (E)
— in 7.6.2.6, the tolerances on the geometry of the chapeau de gendarme drum grooves have been
changed to comply with 7.2.3.1;
— in 9.3, the conditions for verifying the load on one of the wheels of a chassis of a funicular railway
have been clarified, so that they are not limited solely to braking with the on-board brake;
— in 10.1 a), determination of the triggering threshold for the on-board brake in the event of failure of
a haulage rope is clarified;
— in 11.2.1.1, a requirement was added regarding the material used for the glazing of the cabins,
which shall not be dangerous in the event of breakage;
— in 11.4.1.2, a clarification regarding chairs has been added for the transport of persons with
reduced mobility with their specific equipment;
— in 12.1.3, a paragraph has been added regarding accessibility for wheelchair passengers in order to
be consistent with 11.2.1.4;
— in Annex ZA, the table has been supplemented.
This document forms part of the standards programme approved by the CEN Technical Board
(CEN/BT) on safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons. This
programme comprises the following standards:

5.2 Safety principles
5.2.1 General
The safety principles set out in EN 12929-1 apply. In addition, the following hazard scenarios and safety
requirements relative to the scope of this European Standard shall be taken into account.
5.2.2 Hazard scenarios
The following events may lead to hazardous situations that may be avoided or limited by the safety
requirements of this European Standard:
a) overloading of the carrier;
b) exceeding the limits of use permitted by the manufacturer;
c) damage caused by ageing, corrosion, wear, fatigue or deformation;
d) hooking up and impact (carrier with carrier, carrier with people, carriers with ropes, stations, line structures
and external objects);
e) derailment and deropement when carrier passes;
f) derailment or instability of the carrier;
g) failure of the haulage rope or carrying hauling rope where a grip is attached;
h) failure of the attachment or detachment of a grip;
i) inadequate resistance to slipping and pull-off of a rope grip;
j) faulty door operation (unexpected opening, slamming shut);
k) inadequate protection against passengers and any element falling out of the carrier;
l) inadequate positioning and difficult access for the maintenance and evacuation personnel;
m) fire.
5.2.3 Safety measures
The safety measures to be taken to eliminate the hazard scenarios listed in 5.2.2 are the following:
a) checking of the load or limiting the area available to each passenger and systematically informing the
passengers of the maximum authorized load;
b) establishment of an operating manual defining the limits of use;

c) requirements relating to design and manufacture, to the selection of materials, production checks, type
approval tests, pre-commissioning tests and checks during operation;
d) compliance with space envelopes, monitoring of the maximum permissible wind speed in operation,
damping devices on the outside of the carriers,
e) unrestricted passage of the grips past the rope-catchers;
f) requirements relating to the guiding and stability of the carriers;
g) adequate design of the grip to limit the risks of fatigue failure of the haulage rope or carrying hauling rope;
h) monitoring the attac
