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 which give complete assurance of
running in a controlled manner, 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. This extension of applicability significantly increases the number of system functions which are potentially at risk and therefore requires that the "reasonably practicable" principles be extended to this new condition.Cross References:IEC 61034-1:2005IEC 60310:2004AMD 1:2002EN 61034-1:2005IEC 60331-3:2009AMD 3:2006TR 9705-2:2001EN 60310:2004EN 54EN ISO 15540:2001CEN/TS 45545-2:2009EN 50155:2001CEN/TS 45545-6:2009EN 403:2004EN 50200:2006CEN/TS 45545-4:2009ISO 15540:1999CEN/TS 45545-1:2009CEN/TS 45545-7:2009EN 3-7:2004CLC/TS 45545-5:2004EN 50216-5:2002EN 50362:2003EN 15663:2009CEN/TS 45545-3:2009ISO 13943:2017EN 286-4 1994TS 14972EN 1363-1 1999TSI SRT 2007EN 286-3 1994IEV 811-25-05 1998IEV 811-25-06 1998EN ISO 13943TSI HS RST 2008Incorporates the following:Amendment, February 2020; Amendment, April 2016
