part of EN 45545 specifies requirements for flammable liquids and liquefied petroleum gas installations, e g for traction, auxiliary power units, heating or cooking, to cover the objectives defined in EN 45545-1 This part is not applicable to technical liquids themselves, e g hydraulic liquid and transformer oil, except where guidance is given as to dealing with spillages, leakage and spray generation The measures and requirements specified in this European Standard aim to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles by preventing a fire from occurring and spreading by leakage of flammable liquids or gases It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe measures for flammable gases, other than liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe measures that 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 referenced document
