In addition, the following hazard scenarios and safety measures apply within the scope of this document. 4.2.1.1 The following events many lead to hazardous situations which may be avoided or limited by the requirements of this document: a) accidental contact of a person with a live metallic component; b) failure of an electrical safety function; c) voltage drop or total loss of voltage; d) occurrence of a short-circuit, earth fault or open circuit; e) failure of electrical or electronic components; f) foreseeable external influences, in particular, environmental conditions and electromagnetic fields. 4.2.1.2 For each individual safety function, the hazard to persons is to be defined by means of a risk analysis (see also Annex A). A distinction is made between the following 3 hazard categories: a) Hazard category 1: failure of an electrical device that cannot lead to an accident (no personal hazard);

1) the structure of the safety device, the interaction of components and the way in which the components are connected shall clearly and comprehensibly meet the fundamental safety aims of the respective requirements class; or 2) approved safety components for the corresponding requirements class, including any software operating system which may be installed, shall be used in accordance with the requirements, observing the conditions noted in the test certificate of a notified body; b) if application software is installed, this shall demonstrably fulfil the fundamental safety aims of the respective requirements class. NOTE Proof of the required safety level on the basis of EN 954-1 which refers to appropriate publications, for example, EN 61508. 4.2.2.6 The term fault covers the original fault and any subsequent fault resulting from it. The first fault and all consequent faults are considered as a single fault. 4.2.2.7 The simultaneous occurrence of two independent accidental faults in the same safety function need not be considered. 4.2.2.8 Exclusion of faults is only permissible if appropriately justified, it corresponds to generally accepted technical experience and the probability of occurrence of the fault is known and sufficiently small (procedure analogous to that in EN 954-1, justification analogous to that of EN ISO 13849-2). 4.2.2.9 Safety circuits shall be break circuits or shall demonstrate at least the same level of safety. In the case of line safety circuits, breaks, short-circuits, changes in impedance and earth faults shall not lead to the loss of the safety function or shall result in the cableway being put into a safe state. 4.2.2.10 The following applies to tests on electrical safety devices: a) all faults which could impair the function of safety devices shall be recognized with the level of fault detection required by the corresponding requirements class. Tests may be carried out manually or automatically, or as a combination of both methods; b) if tests take place before the start of daily operation or before every start, start-up shall only occur if no fault has been detected during the test. If they take place during travel and a fault is found, the cableway shall be brought to a stop; NOTE In the case of a test initiated and carried out manually, this may be an operational requirement, as it is not always possible to prevent start-up. c) the frequency of tests depends on the prescribed requirements class and also the fault tolerance time, the failure rate data and the type of construction (material) of the safety-related electrical device. NOTE Proof of the required safety level on the basis of EN 954-1 which refers to appropriate publications, for example, EN 61508. 4.2.2.11 The electrical installations shall be manufactured, assembled and maintained so that:
