• DIN  EN 45545-1: 2013- Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 1: General Technical Specification (TS) 45545 on fire protection on railway vehicles was published in 7 parts at the beginning of 2009. During the previous standard enquiry, gaps in the content in some parts were, however, identified. The submitted comments on the individual parts were to some extent contradictory and could not be resolved on a short-term basis. In order to ensure the previous results it was agreed to prepare the TS with the stipulation of continuing work on the revision with the aim of producing a European Standard. This document represents the completion of the standardization process started in 2010. 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. 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 5 and Part 7); - minimise the possibility of ignition of materials installed on railway vehicles due to accidents or vandalism (Part 1 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 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 3. Freight transportation vehicles are not covered by EN 45545. This part of EN 45545 covers: - principal definitions; - operation categories; - design categories; - fire safety objectives; - general requirements for fire protection measures and their evaluation of conformity.
  
  

• DIN EN 45545-2:2023/12 - Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 2: Requirements for fire behavior of materials and components  inc. Amendment A1:2021/11

   This part of EN 45545 specifies the reaction to fire performance requirements for materials and products used on railway vehicles as defined in EN 45545-1. The operation and design categories defined in EN 45545-1 are used to establish hazard levels that are used as the basis of a classification system. For each hazard level, this part specifies the test methods, test conditions and reaction to fire performance requirements. It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the vehicles in the event of a fire.
  
  
• DIN EN 45545-3 : 2013 - Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 3: Fire resistance requirements for fire barriers This part of EN 45545 specifies the fire resistance requirements and testing methods for fire barriers for railway vehicles. The objective of the measures and requirements, specified in this part of EN 45545, is to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a developing fire on board. It is not within the scope of this part of EN 45545 to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the railway vehicles in the event of a fire.
  
  
• DIN EN 45545-4 : 2015 - Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 4: Fire safety requirements for rolling stock design 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.
  
  
• DIN EN 45545-5+A1 : 2016 - Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 5: Fire safety requirements for electrical equipment including that of trolley buses, track guided buses and magnetic levitation vehicles This Part of EN 45545 specifies the fire safety requirements for electrical equipment on railway vehicles, including that of trolley buses, track guided buses and magnetic levitation vehicles. The measures and requirements, specified in this European Standard meet the objective of protecting passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board by: - lowering the risk of starting a fire both during operation and as a result of technical defect and/or malfunction of the electrical equipment, - ensuring that electrical emergency equipment continues to be functional until evacuation is complete (see EN 45545-6).
  
  
• DIN EN 45545-6 : 2015 - Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 6: Fire control and management systems This part of EN 45545 specifies requirements for fire detection, alarm systems, equipment shutdown, information and communication systems, emergency lighting, emergency brake systems and fire fighting systems to cover the objectives defined in EN 45545-1. The measures and requirements specified in this European Standard aim to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board by alerting staff and passengers to a fire, delaying the fire development and controlling the movement of smoke. 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. This part is valid for railway vehicles defined in EN 45545-1.
  
  
• DIN EN 45545-7 : 2013 - Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 7: Fire safety requirements for flammable liquid and flammable gas installations This 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.
