NF F 16-101 Railway Rolling Stock Fire Behavior Choice of Material- Standard Brief

The purpose of this standard is to proposea method of classification of materials for rolling stock obtained from the results of standardized tests.

This method of classification establishes objectives and simultaneously takes into account as much the combustion of thematerials as the opacity and toxicity of the combustion emissions.

NF F 16-101 Railway Rolling Stock Fire Behavior Choice of Material-   Scope

The purpose of this standard is toestablish rules relating to the choice of materials according to their firebehaviour with regard to reaction to fire, opacity of smoke and toxicity ofgases emitted.

NF F 16-101/102 establish classificationobjectives and specifies the minimum classifications to be complied withaccording to the type of materials concerned.

NF F 16-101 is applicable to allnon-metallic materials, with the exception of paintwork where they form part ofpassenger railcars, cabins, vans, observation railcars, wagons and theirtrailers, including drivers’ cabins where they exist as well as engine drivers'cabins.

For Electrical equipment it is complementedby NF F 16-102.

NF F 16-101 Railway Rolling Stock Fire Behavior Choice of Material-   Classification

- Burning Behaviour Irating: I0, I1, I2, I3, I4

- Burning Behaviour Mrating: M0, M1, M2, M3, M4

- Smoke and toxicity Frating: F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5

NF F 16-101 Railway Rolling Stock FireBehavior Choice of Material-   Category

- Category A1 : All rolling stock,including drivers'cabins, which travel frequently through tunnels.

- Category A2 : Urban and suburbanrolling stock, including drivers'cabins, which travel infrequently throughtunnels, wagons and their trailers, main-line sleeper cars.

- Category B : Main-line rolling stock withseats, including drivers’cabins, which travel infrequently through tunnels,locomotive and locomotor drivers'cabins.
