DIN 5510-2 Preventive fire protection in railway vehicles –Part 2: Fire behaviour and fire side effects of materials and parts – Classification, requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This standard apples to railway vehicles (hereinafter referred to as “vehicles” ) which are within the scope of the Eisenbahn Bau- und Betriebsordnung (EBO) (German Ordinance on the construction and operating of
railways), the Eisenbahn Bau- und Betriebsordnung für Schmalspurbahnen (ESBO) (German Ordinance on the construction and operating of narrow-gauge railways), the Magnetschwebebahn- Bau- und
Betriebsordnung (MbBO) (German Ordinance on the construction and operation of magnetic-levitation monorail systems) and the Verordnung über den Bau und Betrieb der Straßenbahnen (BOStrab) (German
Ordinance on the construction and operation of trams). The purpose of this standard is to specify:
a classification of fire behaviour and of the side-effects of fires,
test methods required for this purpose, and
preventive requirements placed, for fire protection purposes, on the combustion behaviour and sideeffects of combustion of the materials and components used for building the vehicles.
This standard does not apply to requirements relating to equipment for storing and conveying liquid or gaseous fuels. A corresponding standard on this topic is currently being prepared.
