12.8 Monitoring the normal slowdown of the machine in case of reduced buffer stroke
12.8.1 In the case of 10.4.3.2, devices shall check that the slowdown is effective before arrival at terminal landings.
12.8.2 If the slowdown is not effective these devices shall cause the car speed to be reduced in such a way that, if the car or the counterweight comes into contact with the buffers, the striking speed shall not exceed that for which the buffers were designed.
12.8.3 If the device checking the slowdown is not independent of the direction of travel, a device shall check that the movement of the car is in the intended direction.
machine room, breakage of or slack in such a connecting device shall cause the machine to stop through the action of an electric safety device in conformity with 14.1.2.
12.8.5 The control and functioning of these devices shall be so designed that together with the normal speed regulation system there results a slowdown control system complying with the requirements of 14.1.2.
Positive drive lifts shall have a slack rope/chain device actuating an electric safety device in conformity with 14.1.2. This device may be the same as the one required in 9.5.3.

b) time for traveling the full travel, plus 10 s, with a minimum of 20 s if the full travel time is less than 10 s.
12.10.3 The return to normal operation shall only be possible by manual resetting. On restoration of the power after a supply disconnection, maintaining the machine in the stopped position is not necessary.
