Railway applications - Requirements for running capability in case of fire on board of rolling stock

This European Standard defines requirements for running capability under fire conditions which are applicable to passenger carrying railway rolling stock. In particular, technical measures are specified, compliance with which will contribute to conformity with the Directive and the relevant Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI). The standard specifies the fire conditions: – for which it is not necessary to define running capability requirements as there is no significant potential for serious injury or threat to life; – for which it is reasonable to expect trains to continue to run in a controlled manner; – for which it is not reasonably practicable to define requirements due to the exceptional nature of the fire incident. The TSI SRT defines running capability requirements in respect of fires within technical areas/equipment only. However for general guidance the scope of this standard is extended to include fires from non-technical causes within passenger/staff areas which may impact train system functions adjacent to and/or passing through the affected area.
