GB/T 46154-2025 Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifting appliances in wind turbines

Scope

This document specifies the list of major hazards, safety requirements, and/or protective measures for wind turbine elevators, as well as their verification and usage information. This document applies to permanently installed, power-driven elevators used for internal or external operations on wind turbines and for accessing work areas of wind turbines, including rescue and evacuation procedures. Wind turbine elevators are equipped with cabins serving designated floors, capable of transporting personnel to work positions (including operations at the cabin), and possess the following characteristics: — Designed for transporting personnel and/or cargo; — Equipped with guidance devices; — Operating along paths with a slope angle of less than or equal to 15° relative to the vertical line; — Supported by rack-and-pinion lifting mechanisms or suspended by climbing-type lifting mechanisms; — Operating at speeds not exceeding 0.70 m/s; — Operating in a temperature range of –25°C to 55°C. This document does not address risks arising from the following: — Noise; — Installation and dismantling of wind turbines; — Lightning strikes; — Potentially explosive environments; — Electromagnetic compatibility (emission, immunity); — Transporting cargo outside the cabin; — Use of internal combustion engines; — Hydraulic and pneumatic lifting mechanisms; — Use on floating wind turbines; — Earthquakes. This document does not apply to wind turbine elevators manufactured and installed before the date of this document's publication.
