Safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons - Quality assurance
This document specifies the safety requirements applicable to quality assurance for cableway installations designed to carry persons. It sets out provisions for the procedures for quality assurance which supplement the requirements of the other standards cited in the foreword. It is applicable to the different cableway systems. This document applies to suppliers of cableway installations designed to carry persons or of safety components for cableway installations designed to carry persons, regardless of whether or not they maintain a quality management system conforming to EN ISO 9001 certified by a certification body accredited in accordance with EN 45012. The provisions of clause 4 apply in all cases. In addition, if quality management systems are used, reference shall be made to EN ISO 9001. For the case of suppliers who do not maintain any quality management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001, the provisions of this document are to be regarded as minimum requirements. The requirements relating to the traceability of safety components, which are applicable to all suppliers, are intended to facilitate the recall or the investigation of components which threaten to endanger safety. The requirements in this document are intended to ensure quality and do not replace the technical requirements in standards EN 1709, EN 1908, EN 1909, EN 12927 1, EN 12927 2, EN 12927 3, EN 12927-4, EN 12927 5, EN 12927 6, EN 12927 7, EN 12927 8, EN 12929 1, EN 12929 2, EN 12930, EN 12397, EN 13107, EN 13223, EN 13243, prEN 13796 1, prEN 13796-2 and prEN 13796-3, but supplement them.

About This Item
TS EN 12408 addresses safety requirements for quality assurance in cableway installations designed to carry persons. The standard is concerned with the process side of safety: how suppliers organise quality assurance so that components and systems intended for passenger transport are consistently produced, controlled, and traceable. In practical terms, it links safety performance not only to design rules, but also to disciplined manufacturing and documentation practices.
Why quality assurance matters in passenger cableways
In general technical practice, quality assurance is the set of planned activities used to give confidence that products or components meet specified requirements. For passenger cableway systems, that matters because safety components often carry critical functions and must remain identifiable throughout manufacture and supply. The standard refers to EN ISO 9001 where quality management systems are used, while also stating that minimum requirements still apply when no such certified system is in place.
Coverage and boundaries of the document
The document applies to different cableway systems and to suppliers of cableway installations designed to carry persons or of safety components for those installations. It specifically highlights traceability requirements for safety components, intended to support recall actions or investigations where a component may threaten safety. At the same time, it is explicitly complementary to other technical standards listed in the foreword and does not replace them. It is not applicable to cableways for goods transport or to inclined lifts.
