Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom BS EN 45545-1:2013 EN 45545-1:2013 (E) Introduction EN 45545 is developed from existing fire safety regulations for railway vehicles from the International Union of Railways (UIC) and different European countries In using the Operation and Design Categories defined in this part, the requirements laid down in the different parts of EN 45545 will take into account the current operating conditions for European public rail transport BS EN 45545-1:2013 EN 45545-1:2013 (E) Scope 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 and Part 7); minimise the possibility of ignition of materials installed on railway vehicles due to accidents or vandalism (Part 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 The present European Standard describes the measures to be taken in the design of the vehicles in the context of the infrastructure on which they operate 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 This European Standard is valid for railway vehicles as defined in Clause Freight transportation vehicles are not covered by EN 45545 BS EN 45545-1:2013 EN 45545-1:2013 (E) This part of EN 45545 covers: principal definitions;

General The objectives of EN 45545 are to minimize the probability of a fire starting, to control the rate and extent of fire development and through this, to minimize the impact of the products of fire on passengers and staff The objectives are considered in the context of the Operation and Design Categories of the railway vehicle The different ignition models within the scope of EN 45545 are described in Annex A and form the basis for the requirements set out in EN 45545, in particular the material and product test requirements set out in Part 4.2 Fire resulting from accidental ignition or arson Ignition models, typically involving newspaper, matches, cigarettes and gas lighters are taken into consideration for any location freely accessible to passengers and staff These ignition models (Annex A, ignition model and ignition model 2) have been taken into account in setting out the requirements contained in this standard, with the objectives of reducing the risk of: fire spreading through the passenger and staff areas (see Part relating to material reaction to fire properties and Part relating to fire barriers); endangering passengers and staff by obscuration of escape routes (see Part relating to material reaction to fire properties in particular smoke emission, Part relating to fire barriers and Part relating to design principles and evacuation requirements); 13 BS EN 45545-1:2013 EN 45545-1:2013 (E) endangering passengers and staff by the presence of toxic fumes (see Part relating to material reaction to fire properties in particular toxic products of combustion) NOTE The risk of accidental ignition and in particular arson is considerably lower for areas which are exclusively for the use of staff Arson attacks are usually most prevalent in relatively empty vehicles where there is less chance of intervention 4.3 Fire resulting from technical defects Ignition models, comparable to electric arcs or abnormal temperatures are taken into consideration (see Part and Part 5) The effects of any flammable gases or flammable liquids which may be present are also taken into account (see Part 7) These ignition models (Annex A, ignition model and ignition model 4) have been taken into account in setting out the requirements contained in this standard, with the objectives of reducing the risk of: fire spreading through the passenger and staff areas (see Part 2, Part 3, Part and Part 7); endangering passengers and staff by obscuration of escape routes (see Part 2, Part 3, Part and Part 6); endangering passengers and staff by the presence of toxic fumes (see Part and Part 6) 4.4 Fire resulting from larger ignition models than those described in 4.2 and 4.3 The requirements set out in EN 45545 are intended to mitigate the effects of fires larger than the ignition models described in 4.2 and 4.3 (These larger fires are represented by Annex A, ignition model 5) The following aspects are considered: the arrangement of vehicle interiors, equipment and the arrangement of materials and products to reduce fire spread and fire effluents (see Part 2, Part 3, Part and Part 5); the use of materials and products with higher reaction to fire performance than required to satisfy the objectives of 4.2 and 4.3 (see Part 2); means to contain fire and fire effluents, for example fire barriers (see Part 3); vehicle design to aid evacuation generally and to limit fire exposure times (see Part and Part 4); vehicle design for running capability in the event of fire to permit continued movement to suitable safe areas on the infrastructure for evacuation whenever possible (see Part 4) according to the operational categories as defined in Clause of this document; means for fire detection, fire fighting, equipment shut down and evacuation management (see Part 6) Operation Categories and Design Categories of railway vehicles 5.1 General In consideration of the range of railway vehicle types, operation and infrastructure characteristics, railway vehicles shall be classified: according to the type of service operated and the infrastructure characteristics to give an Operation Category (see 5.2); according to the

material and product fire performance tests (set out in EN 45545-2 and EN 45545-3) and design requirements (set out in EN 45545-4 to EN 45545-7) typically assume the following ignition models: Ignition model This represents a typical ignition source due to arson or vandalism, for example newspapers or rubbish The ignition model is a flaming source of duration and average power output of kW generating a flux of 25 kWm-2 to 30 kWm-2 NOTE The ignition model has been developed from the UIC 564-2 paper cushion Ignition model This represents the effect of an early developing fire on surfaces near to the fire, for example horizontal surfaces of seats and floors The ignition model is a radiant flux of nominal value 25 kWm-2 applied to an area of 0,1 m2 Ignition model This represents the effect of a more developed fire than ignition model or the effect of a developing fire on surfaces above or alongside the fire, for example wall and ceiling surfaces The ignition model is a radiant flux of nominal value 50 kWm-2 applied to an area of 0,1 m2 Ignition model This represents the effects of arcing, for example resulting from the normal operation of high power electrical equipment (where Type A arc barriers would be required as set out in EN 45545-5) and low power electronic equipment faults The ignition model is a flaming source of power kW and 30 s duration Ignition model This represents fires which are more severe than ignition models to 4, for example luggage fires, and arson For these fires the ignition model is a flaming source generating a radiant flux of nominal value in the range 20 kWm-2 to 25 kWm-2 applied to an area of 0,7 m2 with an average power output of 75 kW for a period of followed immediately by a flux of nominal value in the range 40 kWm-2 to 50 kWm-2 applied to the same 0,7 m2 area with an average power output of 150 kW for a period of These five ignition models are used to achieve the objectives set out in 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 18 BS EN
