The alarm shall be audible and/or visible depending on its type and location, in all modes of service.
5.4 Specified actions required for response to automatic alarm
5.4.1 General
Actions required for an affected vehicle which has automatic alarm status, are specified in this section.
5.4.2 Selective shut down of energy
5.4.2.1 General
The requirements are applied on two levels, the primary level and the secondary level. The application of this
principle can be seen from the following.
The primary level requirements are applied to the equipment in the area giving rise to the alarm as defined in
Table 2. For example if a detector used to monitor a fire associated with defined electrical or mechanical
equipment activates and triggers an alarm, then the requirement for a shut down facility is limited to the
defined equipment.
The secondary level requirements are applied to equipment that is not burning but is or may be, exacerbating
the hazard arising from the fire. For example if a detector used to monitor a passenger area or staff area is
activated, then there are requirements that certain other equipment shall react in a specific manner.
Thus, the selective shut down of energy supply has three aims:
1) to avoid the supply of additional energy to the fire (primary);
2) to avoid collateral fire problems which may arise from the impact of fire and/or the affected
equipment on its surroundings as it fails (secondary);
3) to facilitate fire fighting.
In all cases, there is a requirement that the selected shut down of energy supply shall not apply to any
equipment or any system which is required to function for the relevant period of the fire incident, until its
function is no longer required.
5.4.2.2 Selective shut down of energy supply – primary level requirements
The objective is to have an available device for shutting down easily the energy supply. The term "selective" is
used to indicate the existence of limitations on the scope of the requirements.
The primary level requirements for selective shut down of energy supply are given in Table 2.

have a shut down facility or a smoke exhaust mode and shall be activated by the automatic detection system.
5.4.2.3.2 Photoelectric activated fire barrier doors
Where a fire barrier door is powered and opens automatically under photoelectric activation, power shall be
removed if the presence of smoke is detected which could affect the photoelectric activation such that the
door opens when it should remain closed.
5.4.3 Automatic public address system
The requirement for an automatic public address system applies only to design category A. The message of
the automatic public address system shall be audible and easily comprehensible within all passenger areas
and staff areas in the trainset under environmental noise conditions that occur during normal operation of the
railway vehicles.

occurrence of a fire, the following requirements shall apply:
the process shall continue to completion; or
the process shall be maintained in its end condition as long as this is required in the context of the fire
incident.
For these requirements to be satisfied all parts of the system which are required by the process shall have
sufficient fire integrity and/or redundancy. The system shall not be disabled by fire before completion or before
continuation, if appropriate, for as long as the system performs a required function in the context of the fire
incident. The ability of systems to meet these requirements shall be verified by a system analysis.
8 Additional requirements
8.1 Emergency signs
Locations of all
passenger alarm devices;
emergency exits;
emergency equipment (e. g. fire extinguishers and emergency hammers),
shall be clearly marked with permanent signs, readily visible under emergency lighting conditions.
The design, colour and size of the emergency signs shall be in accordance with EN 61310-1.
8.2 Emergency lighting
The emergency lighting shall be in accordance with EN 13272.

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential

Requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN/CENELEC/ETSI by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association to provide a means of conforming to Essential
Requirements of the Directive 2008/57/EC 1.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive and has been
implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the clauses of this
standard given in Table ZA.1 for HS Rolling Stock, Table ZA.2 for CR Locomotives and Passenger Rolling
Stock and Table ZA.3 for the HS/CR TSI Safety in Rail Tunnel, confers, within the limits of the scope of this
standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and
associated EFTA regulations.
