Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles Part 1: General
The measures and requirements specified in EN 45545 are intended to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board.
EN 45545 specifies:
- fire protection measures for railway vehicles;
- verification methods for these measures.
The protection of passengers and staff is essentially based on measures to:
- prevent fires occurring due to technical faults and due to equipment design or vehicle layout (Part 1, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 7);
- minimise the possibility of ignition of materials installed on railway vehicles due to accidents or vandalism (Part 1 and Part 2);
- detect a fire should it occur (Part 6); limit the spread of fire by specification of materials according to their operational categories (Part 2) and by measures for containment (Part 3);
- minimise the effects of fire in terms of heat, smoke and toxic gases on passengers or staff through the specification of materials installed on railway vehicles (Part 2);
- control and manage a fire, for example by means of fire detection, suppression and/or emergency energy shut down (Part 6).
The ultimate objective in the event of a fire on board is to allow passengers and staff to evacuate the railway vehicle and reach a place of safety.
It is not within the scope of EN 45545 to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the vehicles in the event of a fire beyond what is required to fulfil the objective to protect passengers and staff.
Freight transportation vehicles are not covered by EN 45545.
This part of EN 45545 covers:
- principal definitions;
- Operation Categories;
- Design Categories;
- fire safety objectives;
- general requirements for fire protection measures and their evaluation of conformity.
