Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 4: Fire safety requirements for rolling stock design

This part specifies fire safety requirements for railway vehicle design to cover the objectives defined in EN 45545-1.
The measures and requirements specified in this part of EN 45545 aim to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board by minimizing the risk of a fire starting, delaying the fire development and controlling the spread of fire products through the railway vehicle, thus aiding evacuation.
It is not within the scope of this standard to describe measures which ensure the preservation of the railway vehicles in the event of a fire.

Bahnanwendungen - Brandschutz in Schienenfahrzeugen - Teil 4: Brandschutzanforderungen an die konstruktive Gestaltung von Schienenfahrzeugen

Dieser Teil spezifiziert Brandschutzanforderungen für die Konstruktion von Schienenfahrzeugen, um die Ziele zu erfüllen, die in EN 45545-1 definiert sind.
Die Maßnahmen und Anforderungen, die in diesem Teil der EN 45545 spezifiziert sind, haben zum Ziel, Passagiere und Betriebsbedienstete im Falle eines Brandes an Bord zu schützen, indem das Risiko minimiert wird, dass ein Brand entsteht, indem die Brandentwicklung verlangsamt wird und indem die Ausbreitung der Verbrennungsprodukte innerhalb des Schienenfahrzeugs so gesteuert wird, dass damit die Evakuierung unterstützt wird.
Es liegt nicht im Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm, Maßnahmen zu beschreiben, den Schutz der Schienenfahrzeuge im Brandfall sicher zu stellen.

Applications ferroviaires - Protection contre les incendies dans les véhicules ferroviaires - Partie 4: Exigences de sécurité incendie pour la conception des véhicules ferroviaires

La présente partie spécifie les exigences de sécurité incendie pour la conception des véhicules ferroviaires pour atteindre les objectifs définis dans l’EN 45545-1.
L’objectif des mesures et des exigences spécifiées dans la présente partie de l’EN 45545 de ce document est la protection des voyageurs et du personnel de bord dans les véhicules ferroviaires en cas de d’incendie à bord en réduisant le risque de départ d’un feu, en retardant son développement et en contrôlant la propagation des produits du feu à l’intérieur du véhicule, facilitant ainsi l’évacuation.
Il n’est pas dans le domaine d’application de cette norme de décrire des mesures qui  assurent la préservation des véhicules en cas d’un incendie.

Železniške naprave - Požarna zaščita na železniških vozilih - 4. del: Zahteve požarne varnosti za konstrukcijo železniških vozil

Ta del določa protipožarne varnostne zahteve v konstrukciji železniških vozil za doseganje ciljev iz standarda EN 45545-1. Ukrepi in zahteve iz tega dela standarda EN 45545 so namenjeni zaščiti potnikov in osebja v železniških vozilih v primeru požara na vozilu. Ukrepi zmanjšujejo tveganje nastanka požara, zadržujejo razvoj požara in pomagajo nadzorovati širjenje produktov ognja po železniškem vozilu, kar pomaga pri evakuaciji. V okviru tega standarda niso opisani ukrepi za obvarovanje železniških vozil v primeru požara.

4.1 General In consideration of the wide range of possible interior layouts for rail vehicles it is only possible to specify a limited number of normative requirements to control the risks of fires starting accidentally or deliberately and to then control the risks of such fires spreading. Informative guidance is therefore set out in Annex A to provide accepted good practice and design aspects to be considered. SIST EN 45545-4:2013

 driver’s cabs;  staff areas, for example staff offices, compartments, catering and cooking areas;  luggage compartments;  areas behind ceiling hatches or access panels;  the interior of technical cabinets (including engine compartments);  the interior of underfloor equipment cases. Unauthorised areas shall be locked or otherwise secured. Locking devices shall take into account requirements for evacuation as set out in 4.3. The surface temperature of equipment or equipment enclosures in passenger, staff and luggage areas shall not exceed 60 °C under normal conditions with the exception of catering or cooking equipment (see 4.2.2).
Typical examples of equipment acting as local sources of heat in passenger, staff and luggage areas are heating unit enclosures, lighting diffusers and/or lighting enclosures. This requirement should not be applied to equipment in technical areas for example engine compartments. The design of railway vehicles shall limit the risk of fires starting or developing by application of the measures in this document and the other parts of this standard and in addition by consideration of:
 the vehicle layout and shape of the vehicle and/or the layout and shape of elements of the vehicle;  the potential for the build up of combustible materials for example litter, oil or grease;  requirements for cleaning;  the potential for misuse and/or vandalism. Guidance is set out in Annex A. 4.2.2 Catering and cooking areas Cooking and catering appliances shall be installed so that the transfer of heat to adjacent surfaces and equipment is limited. The temperature of adjacent surfaces and equipment shall not exceed 60 °C. Touchable surfaces of cooking and catering equipment except where required for the equipment’s function shall not exceed 60 °C. Gas installations shall comply with the requirements of EN 45545-7. Cooking and catering equipment should be designed so that railway vehicle movements should not produce a fire hazard for example due to spillage of combustible liquids onto hot surfaces or by spillages leading to an accumulation of combustible waste over time.
