DD CEN/TS 45545-7:2009 Railway applications. Fire protection on railway vehicles. Fire safety requirements for flammable liquid and flammable gas installations
DD CEN/TS 45545-7 is a Technical Specification which specifies requirements for flammable liquids and liquefied petroleum gas installations, e.g. for traction, auxiliary power units, heating or cooking. It cover the objectives defined in CEN/TS 45545-1.
DD CEN/TS 45545-7 does not apply to technical liquids themselves, e.g. hydraulic liquid, transformer oil, except where guidance is given as to dealing with spillages, leakage and spray generation.
The measures and requirements specified in DD CEN/TS 45545-7 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 DD CEN/TS 45545-7 to describe measures for flammable gases, other than liquefied petroleum gases or to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the vehicles in the event of a fire.
