COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2024/354
of 19 January 2024
on harmonised standards for cableway installations drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/424
of the European Parliament and the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012on
European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC,
95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council(1), and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2016/424 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
subsystems and safety components for cableway installations which are in conformity with harmonised standards
or parts thereof the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, are to be
presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements set out in Annex II to that Regulation covered by
those standards or parts thereof.
(2) By Implementing Decision C(2023) 5065(3), the Commission made a request to the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN) for the revision of existing harmonised standards and the completion of the work on draft
harmonised standards in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
(3) On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2023) 5065, CEN revised the following standards on
safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons: EN 12929-1, EN 12929-2, EN 13796-2
and EN 13796-3. This resulted in the adoption of the following amending standards: EN 12929-1:2015+A1:2022,
EN 12929-2:2015+A1:2022, EN 13796-2:2017+A1:2022 and EN 13796-3:2017+A1:2022. CEN also revised
standard EN 13223:2015, the reference of which is included in Commission Communication 2018/C 114/04(4).
This resulted in the adoption of the amending standard EN 13223:2015+A1:2022.
(4) The Commission together with CEN has assessed whether those standards comply with the request set out in
Implementing Decision C(2023) 5065.
(1) OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 12, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2012/1025/oj
(2) Regulation (EU) 2016/424 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on cableway installations and repealing
Directive 2000/9/EC (OJ L 81, 31.3.2016, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/424/oj).
(3) Commission Implementing Decision C(2023) 5065 final of 2 August 2023 on a standardisation request to the European Committee
for Standardization as regards cableway installations in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/424 of the European Parliament and of the
Council.
(4) Commission Communication in the framework of the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/424 of the European Parliament and
of the Council on cableway installations and repealing Directive 2000/9/EC (Publication of titles and references of harmonised
standards under Union harmonisation legislation) (OJ C 114, 28.3.2018, p. 7).

(5) Those standards satisfy the requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Annex II to Regulation
(EU) 2016/424. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those standards in the Official Journal of the
European Union. Given that standard EN 12929-2:2015+A1:2022 refers to undated normative references, it should
be published in the Official Journal of the European Union with restriction.
(6) Standard EN 13223:2015+A1:2022 is to replace standard EN 13223:2015. It is therefore necessary to withdraw the
reference of standard EN 13223:2015 from the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to adapt their products to the revised version of harmonised standard
EN 13223:2015, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the reference of that standard.
(8) The references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/424 are published in
Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1923(5) and Communication 2018/C 114/04. In the interests of
clarity and rationality, a complete list of references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Regulation
(EU) 2016/424 and satisfying the requirements they aim to cover should be published in a single legal act.
(9) Consequently, the references of harmonised standards published in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1923 and
Communication 2018/C 114/04 should be published in an Annex to this Decision and both Implementing
Decision (EU) 2019/1923 and Communication 2018/C 114/04 should be repealed.
(10) However, Communication 2018/C 114/04 should continue to apply to the reference of the harmonised standard
EN 13223:2015 until the date of withdrawal of that reference.
(11) Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential
requirements set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the reference of such
standard in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the date of
its publication,
