    Defines fire safety requirements for railway vehicle design to cover the objectives defined in EN 45545-1.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    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.
