Full title and description

STB DIN EN 13107:2015 — Safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons — Civil engineering works. This document is the German-adopted version of EN 13107:2015 and specifies safety-related requirements for the design, construction and alteration of civil engineering works associated with cableway installations intended to carry people (stations, towers, foundations, supporting structures and related earthworks).

Abstract

EN 13107:2015 sets out safety requirements for the civil engineering elements of passenger cableway installations. It addresses prevention of accidents, protection of workers and public safety as they relate to structural works and site conditions. The standard applies to new installations and to alterations of existing civil engineering works where safety is affected, while leaving national building and construction regulations unaffected.

Scope

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to civil engineering works for cableway installations designed to carry persons. It covers the different types of cableway installations and their environments, and includes requirements aimed at preventing accidents and protecting workers and the public. It does not apply to cableway installations intended solely for the transport of goods nor to lifts. The standard is applicable to new installations and to alterations of existing civil engineering works where safety is involved.

Key topics and requirements

• Design and structural requirements for stations, towers, supports, foundations and retaining works associated with passenger cableways.
• Site and geotechnical considerations: ground conditions, stability, slopes, and erosion protection.
• Risk assessment and measures to prevent accidents during construction, operation and maintenance.
• Protection of workers and the public during construction, commissioning and alterations.
• Requirements for interfaces between mechanical equipment and civil engineering works (attachment points, loads, dynamic effects).
• Inspection, maintenance and documentation requirements relevant to civil engineering elements.
• Interaction with national building regulations and other statutory requirements (the standard does not override national rules).
• Includes a published corrigendum/amendment (AC:2016) addressing editorial/technical clarifications.

Typical use and users

Used by civil and structural engineers, cableway designers, manufacturers and suppliers of cableway systems, site contractors, maintenance and inspection organisations, certifying bodies, and public authorities responsible for approval and oversight of passenger ropeway installations. It is referenced during project design, safety assessments, construction, commissioning and when carrying out alterations to existing installations.

Related standards

Related documents include other EN and national standards covering cableway equipment, operational and safety requirements, structural design Eurocodes (EN 1990–EN 1999) where relevant, and national building regulations. Users should consult the complete EN 13100-series and applicable national standards for operational, mechanical and electrical aspects of cableway systems in addition to EN 13107 for civil engineering works.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: EN 13107:2015 (adopted as DIN EN 13107) is a European standard that specifies safety requirements for the civil engineering works of cableway installations designed to carry persons (stations, towers, foundations, earthworks and related structures).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers safety-related requirements for design, construction, inspection and alteration of civil engineering works associated with passenger cableways, including site and geotechnical considerations, structural interfaces with mechanical equipment and measures to protect workers and the public. It does not cover cableways for goods or lifts.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Civil/structural engineers, cableway designers and manufacturers, contractors, maintenance and inspection bodies, certifiers and regulatory authorities responsible for approving and overseeing passenger ropeway installations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2015 edition replaced the earlier 2004 edition. A corrigendum/amendment (AC:2016) was published to address clarifications. Users should check with the national standards body (DIN or their national standards organization) for the current status and any later amendments or revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — EN 13107 is part of the wider body of European standards covering cableway installations and their components; it should be used alongside other EN standards that address mechanical, electrical and operational requirements for cableways and with applicable Eurocodes and national building regulations.
