1 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.

4 Fire protection measures

4.1 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 passenger use. These shall include, where applicable, but
are not limited to:

 driver’s cabs;

 staff areas, for example staff offices, compartments, catering and cooking areas;

 luggage compartments;

 areas behind ceiling hatches or access panels;

 the interior of technical cabinets (including engine compartments);

 the interior of underfloor equipment cases.

Unauthorised areas shall be locked or 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 of:

 the vehicle layout and shape of the vehicle and/or the layout and shape of elements of the vehicle;

 the potential for the build up of combustible materials for example litter, oil or grease;

 requirements for cleaning;

 the potential for misuse and/or vandalism.

Guidance is set out in Annex A.

4.2.2 Catering and cooking areas

Cooking and catering appliances shall be installed so that the transfer of heat to adjacent surfaces and
equipment is limited. The temperature of adjacent surfaces and equipment shall not exceed 60 °C.

Touchable surfaces of cooking and catering equipment except where required for the equipment’s function
shall not exceed 60 °C.

Gas installations shall comply with the requirements of EN 45545-7.

Cooking and catering equipment should be designed so that railway vehicle movements should not produce a
fire hazard for example due to spillage of combustible liquids onto hot surfaces or by spillages leading to an
accumulation of combustible waste over time.

Visibility shall be maintained throughout passenger areas even if the passenger area is subdivided into
smaller areas or compartments. The level of visibility shall be sufficient for standing passengers or staff to
view adjacent passenger areas. This requirement does not apply to toilets or sleeping compartments.

If a passenger area or compartment is equipped with a fire detection system in accordance with
EN 45545-6, visibility from adjacent areas is not required.

4.2.5 Litter bins, ash trays and refuse containers

In areas where smoking is permitted, ashtrays shall be provided.

Ashtrays, litter bins, paper towel dispensers and receptacles for used paper towels shall be designed with the
objective that an internal fire is prevented from spreading.

This can be achieved, for example, by the use of a metal container or a container constructed from materials
that give a fire resistance performance of at least E10, as set out in EN 45545-3:2013 (see 5.6.4, Table 2) and
with a self closing lid.

Annex A
(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.
