Overview
EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard EN 45545-5 that defines fire safety requirements for electrical equipment on railway vehicles, including trolley buses, track-guided buses and magnetic levitation vehicles. The standard aims to protect passengers and staff by reducing the risk of fire originating from electrical equipment and by ensuring that emergency electrical systems remain functional until evacuation is complete (see EN 45545-6).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Fire safety for onboard electrical equipment across a range of rail-based and guided vehicles (including trolley buses and maglev).
- Objective: Lower ignition risk from electrical faults and ensure emergency equipment reliability during evacuation.
- Amendment highlights (FprA1):
- Modification to Clause 2 (Normative references): adds EN 50547 (Batteries for auxiliary power supply systems).
- Revision of Clause 5.6 (Batteries and battery supply circuits) with specific requirements:
- Battery venting: gases must be vented to the vehicle exterior and not into passenger or staff areas.
- Battery conformity: batteries for auxiliary power systems shall comply with EN 50547.
- Cable insulation: cables between batteries and protective devices must be insulated against short circuits via:
- supplementary insulation per EN 61140, or
- internal battery-box insulation with electrolyte-resistant varnish.
- Protective devices: where neither battery pole is bonded to the vehicle body, protective devices must be fitted to both poles. For interconnections between separate battery enclosures, protective devices are required only on external poles, not on interconnection cables.
- Safety linkage: references EN 45545-6 for emergency system performance until evacuation completion.
Applications
- Design, manufacture and installation of onboard electrical systems for trains, trams, trolley buses, guided buses and maglev vehicles.

EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 표준은 철도 애플리케이션에서의 화재 보호를 위한 필수 요소로, 전기 장비에 대한 화재 안전 요구 사항을 명확히 제시하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 트롤리버스, 트랙 가이드 버스 및 자기 부상 차량을 포함한 다양한 철도 차량의 전기 장비에 적용되며, 화재 발생 시 승객 및 직원의 안전을 보장하는 데 중점을 둡니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 화재 발생 위험을 낮추기 위한 두 가지 주요 접근 방식을 채택하고 있다는 점입니다. 첫째, 전기 장비의 작동 중 및 기술적 결함 또는 고장의 결과로 인해 화재가 발생할 가능성을 줄이는 것입니다. 이는 안전을 최우선으로 고려한 예방적 조치로, 철도 차량의 전반적인 안전성을 크게 향상시킵니다. 둘째, 긴급 상황에서 전기 비상 장비가 완전한 기능을 유지하도록 보장하는 요구 사항이 명시되어 있습니다. 이는 대피가 완료될 때까지 비상 장비가 보다 효과적으로 작동하도록 하여, 화재 발생 시 승객의 안전을 보다 확실히 지킬 수 있는 기초를 제공합니다. EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1은 유럽의 통일된 안전기준을 통해 대중교통 수단의 신뢰성을 높이고, 다양한 교통수단에서 전기 장비의 안전성을 보장하는 데 필수적인 역할을 합니다. 이는 철도 산업 내에서 화재 안전 기준이 점차적으로 강화되고 있는 현시점에서 특히 중요합니다. 이러한 표준은 향후 철도 차량의 설계와 운영에 있어 필수적으로 고려되어야 할 지침으로, 생명과 재산 보호를 위한 체계적인 접근을 제공합니다.
EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1は、鉄道車両における火災安全要件、特に電気設備に関する基準を定めた重要な文書です。この標準は、トロリーバス、軌道誘導バス、磁気浮上車両を含む鉄道車両の電気設備に適用され、車両における火災の発生を未然に防ぐことに焦点を当てています。 この基準の強みは、火災発生時の乗客およびスタッフの安全を確保するための明確な要件を提示している点です。具体的には、電気設備の運転中及び技術的欠陥や誤動作による火災のリスクを低減させることが求められています。これにより、鉄道における火災による事故のリスクを大幅に削減することが可能です。 さらに、このEN 45545の第5部は、火災発生の際に電気緊急設備が逃避が完了するまで機能することを保障するための要件も含まれています。この視点は、技術的に優れた鉄道車両を目指す上で不可欠であり、電気設備の信頼性の向上を図る上で大変意義があります。 全体として、EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1は、鉄道車両における電気設備の火災安全に関連する重要な標準であり、乗客の安心・安全を実現するための指針を提供しています。この基準は、鉄道業界の関係者にとって、火災安全対策を講じる上で必須の文書となっています。
Die Norm EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 befasst sich mit den Brandschutzanforderungen für elektrische Ausrüstungen in Schienenfahrzeugen, einschließlich derjenigen von Trolleybussen, schienengeführten Bussen und Magnetschwebebahnen. Der Geltungsbereich dieser Norm ist von großer Wichtigkeit, da sie spezifische Vorgaben für den Brandschutz festlegt, die darauf abzielen, sowohl Fahrgäste als auch das Personal in Schienenfahrzeugen im Falle eines Brandes zu schützen. Eine der wesentlichen Stärken der EN 45545-5 liegt in ihrer umfassenden Herangehensweise an die Identifizierung und Minderung von Brandrisiken. Die Norm definiert Anforderungen, die das Risiko eines Brandes während des Betriebs sowie durch technische Defekte oder Fehlfunktionen der elektrischen Ausrüstung deutlich senken. Dies trägt nicht nur zur Sicherheit der Passagiere bei, sondern fördert auch das Vertrauen in moderne Verkehrsmittel. Darüber hinaus gewährleistet die Norm, dass elektrische Notfallgeräte bis zum Abschluss der Evakuierung funktionsfähig bleiben. Dies ist besonders kritisch, um eine sichere und geordnete Flucht der Passagiere aus dem Fahrzeug zu gewährleisten, was die Bedeutung der Norm im Rahmen der allgemeinen Sicherheit und des Brandschutzes unterstreicht. Die Relevanz der EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 wird auch durch die Tatsache verstärkt, dass sie sich anlasse europaweiter Standards orientiert, die in mehreren Ländern Anwendung finden. Die Standardisierung sorgt für ein einheitliches Schutzniveau und erleichtert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Herstellern, Betreibern und Aufsichtsbehörden in der gesamten Europäischen Union. Insgesamt stellt die EN 45545-5:2013 ein entscheidendes Instrument zur Verbesserung des Brandschutzes in der Bahnindustrie dar, indem sie klare, umsetzbare Maßnahmen definiert, die sowohl das Risiko eines Brandes minimieren als auch die Sicherheit der Fahrgäste und des Personals in den Fokus rücken.
The EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 standard addresses critical aspects of fire protection specifically for electrical equipment used in railway vehicles, including trolley buses, track guided buses, and magnetic levitation vehicles. The comprehensive scope of this standard is essential for enhancing the overall safety protocols in the railway industry, especially in the context of fire emergencies. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its focus on risk mitigation. By establishing stringent requirements for electrical equipment, the standard significantly lowers the likelihood of fire initiation due to operational processes or technical malfunctions. This proactive approach emphasizes not just the response to fire incidents but also the preventive measures that can be implemented. Furthermore, the standard ensures that electrical emergency equipment remains operational throughout the evacuation process, which is vital for passenger and staff safety during emergencies. This alignment with EN 45545-6 further enhances its relevance by integrating emergency response functionality into the fire safety framework for railway operations. Overall, EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 stands out as an authoritative guideline in the field of railway applications, setting a robust foundation for fire protection on railway vehicles. Its comprehensive measures and requirements reflect its indispensable role in safeguarding human life while emphasizing the safety of electrical systems in varied railway environments.
La norme EN 45545-5:2013/FprA1 représente un cadre essentiel pour la protection incendie dans les applications ferroviaires, spécifiquement en ce qui concerne les équipements électriques. Son objectif principal est de garantir la sécurité des passagers et du personnel à bord des véhicules ferroviaires, y compris des trolley-bus, des bus guidés sur rails et des véhicules à lévitation magnétique. Dans le cadre de cette norme, les exigences de sécurité incendie pour les équipements électriques sont clairement définies, offrant ainsi une orientation précise aux fabricants et aux exploitants. Cela renforce la confiance des usagers dans la sécurité des transports en commun. La norme aborde des aspects cruciaux tels que la réduction des risques d'incendie, tant pendant l'exploitation qu'à la suite de défauts techniques ou de dysfonctionnements des équipements électriques. Un des points forts de la norme EN 45545-5 est son approche préventive. En mettant l'accent sur la prévention des départs de feu, elle joue un rôle fondamental dans la minimisation des incidents liés à des équipements électriques. En outre, la partie 5 de cette norme spécifique s'assure que l'équipement d'urgence électrique reste fonctionnel jusqu'à ce que l'évacuation soit terminée, comme le stipule également EN 45545-6. Cela témoigne de la profondeur et de la portée des exigences présentées dans ce document. La pertinence de la norme EN 45545-5 dans le contexte actuel du secteur ferroviaire ne peut être sous-estimée. À une époque où la sécurité des passagers est primordiale, cette norme fournit une base solide pour les pratiques de sécurité dans la conception et l'exploitation des systèmes de transport. En intégrant des exigences rigoureuses pour les équipements électriques, elle contribue de manière significative à la création d'environnements ferroviaires plus sûrs. Ainsi, la norme oSIST EN 45545-5:2013/kFprA1:2015 s'affirme comme un document indispensable pour garantir la sécurité incendie, soulignant son importance dans la mise en œuvre d'échidés de transport à la fois sûrs et fiables.
