Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom BS EN 45545-4:2013 EN 45545-4:2013 (E) Introduction EN 45545-4 has been 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 EN 45545-1, the requirements laid down in this part take into account the current operating conditions for European public rail transport BS EN 45545-4:2013 EN 45545-4:2013 (E) Scope 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 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application For dated references, only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of the

measures 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 BS EN 45545-4:2013 EN 45545-4:2013 (E) 4.2 Minimizing the risk of a fire starting 4.2.1 General preventive measures Access shall be denied to all areas not intended for

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

(informative) Design guidance A.1 General preventive measures To minimize the risk of a fire starting, the inside and outside of the railway vehicles should be designed so as to prevent or minimize as far as reasonably practicable the accumulation of combustible products, for example: newspapers and litter; dust and fluff; waste; brake dust; oil and grease; spilt combustible liquids (fuel, cleaning agents); leaves or other plant material Protruding parts, overhangs, ledges, crevices, recesses, cavities or other areas which can trap combustible materials should be avoided In passenger and staff areas consideration should be given to areas where combustible materials can be placed either accidentally or deliberately In order to control the risks associated with the accumulation of combustible products, railway vehicles should be designed so that they can be easily cleaned A.2 General design features If combustible items are located adjacent to equipment which may operate at high temperature, for example heaters or brake equipment, they should be arranged so that there is sufficient local ventilation or cooling such that heat does not accumulate in the combustible materials to a level where there is a risk of a fire starting Open gutter shaped elements, for example to provide indirect lighting, should not be used Filling points for combustible liquids should be designed such that spillages of liquid can be readily seen and cleaned up A.3 Seats Seats should be shaped to minimize cavities, ledges and other areas which can trap combustible waste materials in or around the seat, in particular beneath the seat Seats should be designed so that combustible products (for example waste paper, rubbish) can be removed easily from the seat itself and the area in or around the seat, in particular beneath the seat during cleaning and maintenance 12 BS EN 45545-4:2013 EN 45545-4:2013 (E) A.4 Air conditioning and ventilation systems Air conditioning and ventilation systems and associated ducts should be designed to prevent or minimise the accumulation of flammable dust and be designed to facilitate periodic cleaning Air inlets and outlets should be designed so that it is difficult to insert objects A.5 Heaters Heater enclosures should be designed to limit the ingress of dirt and designed to permit its easy removal when the railway vehicle is cleaned and/or during maintenance The cross-sectional area of heater air outlets should be designed to not be reduced by the deposit of airborne dust and dirt Heater enclosures should be designed and positioned to prevent the insertion of objects The shape and position of heaters should be such that hot air outlets or heat radiating surfaces, which are designed to function when not covered, cannot easily be covered by objects laid in front of or on them A.6 Protection against sparks Shielding should be provided to prevent ignition of combustible materials by sparks from any electrical or mechanical sources, e.g current collection devices or brake blocks 13 BS EN 45545-4:2013 EN 45545-4:2013 (E) Annex ZA (informative) Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive
