Scope

This document specifies fire safety requirements for railway vehicle design to cover the objectives specified in ISO 9828-1.

The measures and requirements specified in this document 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 document to describe measures which ensure the preservation of the railway vehicles in the event of a fire.

Purpose

Today there is no international standard on fire protection on railway vehicles, when at international level there is a strong interest to have one.
