Definitions.
21.1.1

installation. "New Installation" means any passenger tramway
installation not previously licensed and shall include both new and relocated
passenger tramways (also reference Rules 1.2.4.2 and 1.2.4.3).
21.1.2
Major tramway
modification. "Major Tramway Modification" means any modification to a
passenger tramway which alters its verified design or verified construction and
which results in a substantive change:
(a) In
design speed of the system; or
(b)
In capacity by changing the number of carriers, spacing of carriers, or load
capacity of carriers; or
(c) In the
path of the rope; or
(d) In the
type of brakes and/or backstops or components thereof; or
(e) In structural arrangements; or
(f) In power or type of prime mover or
auxiliary engine; or
(g) To control
system logic.
Design and construction verifications are required. A major
tramway modification may be deemed a new installation by the Board and current
requirements shall be applicable (reference Rule 1.2.4.4).
21.1.3
Minor
modification. "Minor Modification" means any modification, addition, or
deletion to a passenger tramway which does not meet the criteria of a major
modification but which results in a significant change in the tramway's
verified design or verified construction and materially affects its integrity,
operation or control. A design verification is required, however, no
construction verification is required. A minor modification may be considered a
major modification at the discretion of the Board. If the authority appointed
by the Board disagrees with the classification of the modification as "minor",
the matter may be referred to the Board for a final decision.
21.1.4
Minor alteration. "Minor
Alteration" means any other addition or deletion to a passenger tramway which

minor alteration may be considered a minor modification or a major modification
at the discretion of the Board.
21.1.5
One for one replacement.
"One for One Replacement" means the replacement of a component with an equal
