 Interior material construction

 This European standard specifies:

 Measures on railway vehicles for fire protection

 Verification of these measures

 The objective of the measures and requirements specified in this European standard is to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board

 It is not within the scope of this standard to describe measures which ensure the preservation of the vehicles in the events of a fire

 Magnetic levitation vehicles 

 For the objectives the following possible scenarios are taken in account

Fire resulting from accident or arson typical ignition models involving newspaper, matches, cigarettes and gas lighters shall be taken into consideration in any position freely accessible to passengers and staff.

Fire resulting from technical defects ignition models, comparable to electric arcs or abnormal temperatures shall be take into consideration. The effects of any flammable gases or flammable liquids which may be present shall also be taken into account.

Fire resulting from larger ignition models to reduce the hazards to passenger and staff, the following requirements, which are defined in all parts of their technical specification, are intended to cover cases with bigger ignition models e.g. Passenger clothes or passenger luggage
