What is BS EN 45545-7 - Requirements for flammable liquid and flammable gas installations about?
BS EN 45545 is a European standard that discusses fire protection on railway vehicles. BS EN 45545-7 is the seventh part of the multi-part series that outlines requirements for flammable liquids and liquefied petroleum gas installations, e. g. for traction, auxiliary power units, heating, or cooking, to cover the objectives defined in EN 45545-1 to ensure the safety of passenger at the time of fire emergencies. The measures and requirements specified in BS EN 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. Note 1: BS EN 45545-7 does not apply to technical liquids themselves, e. g. hydraulic liquid and transformer oil, except where guidance is given as to dealing with spillages, leakage, and spray generation. Note 2: It is not within the scope of BS EN 45545-7 to describe measures for flammable gases, other than liquefied petroleum gases (LPG). Note 3: It is not within the scope of BS EN 45545-7
