NF F 16-101 Railway rolling stock Fire behaviour Choice of materials
1.Scope
The purpose of this standard is to establish rules relationg to the choice of materials according to their fire behaviour with regard to reaction to fire，opacity of smoke and toxocoty of gases emitted。
It establishes classification objectives and specifies the minimum classifications to be complied to complied with according to the type of material concerned。
In Appendix A,which is not an integral part of the standard，it specifies the acceptance conditions of materials。
2.Field of application
This standard is applicable to all non-metallic materials，with the exception of paintwork where theyform part of passenger railcars，cabins，vans，observation railcars，wagons and their trailers，including drivers cabins where they exist as well as engine drivers cabins。
For electrical equipment it is complemented by NF F 16-102.
