1.2   Assumptions
(1)   In addition to the general assumptions of EN 1990 the following assumptions apply:
-   any active and passive fire protection systems taken into account in the design will be adequately maintained;
-   the choice of the relevant design fire scenario is made by appropriate qualified and experienced personnel, or is given by the relevant national regulation.

(2)   Imposed loads defined in this document are applicable for the design of new bridges, including piers, abutments, upstand walls, wing walls and flank walls, noise barriers, canopies etc., and their foundations.

This Part gives the description of the design philisophy in case of accidental design situations in general and covers the accidental actions due to impact and explosions in detail. It refers to exceptional conditions applicable to the structure caused by human activities, e.g. fire, explosion or impact; actions arising from war-fare and sabotage are excluded. Accidental actions arising from the natural environment such as tornadoes, extreme erosion or falling rocks are not included. However, they may be incor- porated in design using principles similar to those contained in this part.

(1) P ENV 1991 provides general principles and actions for the structural designof building and civil engineering works including some geotechnical aspects and shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1992-1999. (2) It may also be used as a basis for the design of structures not covered in ENV 1992-1999 and where other materials or other structural design actions are involved.
