component replacement (when relevant legislation indicates). Commission is typically done in accordance with a manufacturer’s commissioning list
Danger zone
The area where the wind turbine service lift will be operating - it includes above, under and around the service lift installation, where there is a risk of injury to personnel or equipment from the moving lift A diverter is a component used to divert or change the direction of the load being lifted or moved. It guides the cable in a different direction from the main lifting movement
Diverter
Different lift types include wire guided and ladder guided lifts; and wire driven and rack and pinion driven lifts
Different lift types
Drop zone
A zone where there is a risk of objects falling from height, and there is a risk of injury to persons or significant damage to plant and equipment from dropped or falling objects. In some localities the terms “Restricted Access Area,” “Restricted Access Zone,” or “Exclusion Zone” may be used Working at different levels in a structure, where there is a risk of objects falling from one level to a lower level, shall be avoided. A safety perimeter or safety area can be established and barricaded off to keep personnel from entering. Staying out of the drop zone aims to prevent injury from falling objects A "shielded bypass function" is found in some lifts. This can be used in certain situations (outside normal operation parameters) to permit specific lift operating characteristics. This function must only be used in specific cases defined in the lift’s user manual. Examples could be: 1) after having performed overspeed test, 2) start service lift with bottom limit activated 3) re-start after an obstruction of the lift path occurs
Emergency state override function
Fall arrest device
Examples of fall arrest devices in a lift includes safety brake systems, safety catch device, and secondary brake
Flawless
In the context of technical components, "flawless" implies that the component is free from any defects or imperfections, including physical damage like scratches. Even a minor scratch could potentially affect the component's performance, durability, or integrity, thus disqualifying it from flawless Human factors are an established science that uses many disciplines (like anatomy, physiology, physics, and biomechanics) to understand how people perform under different circumstances and environments

Inspection
Inspection covers physical and visual inspection of functions, components and installations. For this standard inspection includes a responsibility to also adjust,
