Keeping Standards up-to-date

Australian Standards developed by RISSB are living documents that reflect progress in science,
technology and systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are reviewed every five years, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Australian Standards developed by RISSB may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure
themselves they are using a current RISSB Standard, which should include any amendments that
may have been published since the Standard was published.

1 PREFACE
The aim of this Standard is to outline requirements to provide a minimum level of fire safety for
rail rolling stock operating in Australia.
For the purposes of this Standard, all clauses containing the term ‘shall’ are considered
mandatory requirements; all clauses containing the term ‘should’ are considered
recommendations, and all other clauses are explanatory statements. This Standard also
highlights recommended and mandatory sections with (R) and (M) respectively alongside the
paragraph number.
All RISSB standards provide controls for hazards contained in RISSB’s hazard guideline. In this
particular standard, the reference number of the hazard being addressed is identified in
brackets at the end of each sentence (where appropriate). RISSB’s hazard guideline can be
found on the RISSB website at www.rissb.com.au.

1.2 PURPOSE
1.2.1 This document describes requirements for locomotive rail rolling stock.
1.2.2 The main purpose of the requirements is to provide a minimum level of fire safety for
rail rolling stock operating in Australia.
1.3 SCOPE
1.3.1 This document applies to locomotive rolling stock.
1.3.2 The document covers the design, construction and maintenance of rolling stock.
1.3.3 Sections 2 to 11 (inclusive) of this document applies to the design and construction of
new locomotive rolling stock.
1.3.4 Section 11 of this document applies to the maintenance, modification and

refurbishment of existing locomotive rolling stock.
1.3.5 Operation of rolling stock is not covered.
1.3.6 Rolling stock used on light rail, cane railway and monorail networks are not covered.
1.3.7 While it is not the intention to cover heritage rolling stock within the scope of AS7529.1,
operators of heritage rolling stock fleets are encouraged to consider the requirements
within this standard and comply with them if reasonable to do so.
1.3.8 The requirements of this standard are aimed at minimising the fire risk to life of
passengers and train crew, as well as the risks that a fire on such rolling stock may
pose to the life safety of other users of the infrastructure.
1.3.9 The requirements of this standard do not address asset protection of either the rolling
stock or the infrastructure.
1.3.10 The requirements of this standard do not contain any specific mitigations for fire safety
risks associated with terrorism, or with fires following train-to-train collision and ignition.
1.3.11 Locomotive rolling stock are categorised under this standard as 'power car locomotives'
and 'freight locomotives'.
1.3.12 If a locomotive is to be used in both freight and passenger operations, it is

recommended that consideration is given to meeting the requirements given in this
standard for 'power car locomotives'.

1.4 COMPLIANCE
1.4.1 There are two types of controls contained within the RISSB Australian Rolling Stock
Standards – 1. mandatory (MAN) requirements and 2. recommended (REC)
requirements.
1.4.2 Both of these types of control address hazards that are deemed to require controls on
the basis of existing Australian and international rolling stock practices and standards.
1.4.3 Mandatory (MAN) requirements in this standard are provided as performance based
requirements.
1.4.4 Recommended (REC) requirements in this standard are provided as deemed to satisfy
provisions.
1.4.5 A mandatory (performance) requirement is a requirement that the standard sees as the
only way of treating the hazard.
1.4.6 A recommended (deemed to satisfy) requirement is one where the standard recognises
that there are limitations to the universal application of the requirement and that there
may be circumstances where the control cannot be applied or that other controls may
be appropriate or satisfactory, subject to agreement with the Rail Infrastructure
Manager and/or Rail Safety Regulator and/or Rolling Stock Operator.
1.4.7 Recommended requirements in the RISSB Australian Rolling Stock Standards are
considered when compliance to the standards is being assessed.
1.4.8 "When compliance is achieved against the deemed-to-satisfy provisions of this
standard no additional verification is required against the corresponding performance
requirement (as in this case, compliance with the performance requirement is
considered achieved).
1.4.9 If compliance is not achieved for any aspect of vehicle design against the applicable
deemed-to-satisfy provisions, then compliance is to be shown directly against the
performance requirement and the process detailed in section 2 of this standard is to be
applied.
1.4.10 Refer to AS 7501 for details on the compliance assessment process.

(54.13)
(a) (R) Such verification should be completed by, or independently assessed and
agreed as compliant by, a registered fire engineer experienced in rolling stock fire
safety (e.g. NPER in the category of fire safety engineering). (54.13, 54.5)
(b) (M) An assessment shall be undertaken to confirm the overall level of fire safety
achieved is as high as is reasonably practicable for freight rolling stock and that the
provision of a performance based solution in one area does not adversely impact
the level of fire safety achieved in other areas. (54.13)
2.2 (M) The holistic fire safety assessment undertaken in accordance with clause 1b above,
shall: (54.13)
(a) (M) Use the general process and principles for fire engineering design, evaluation
and analysis as described in the International Fire Engineering Guidelines (IFEG).
(54.13)
(b) (M) Include fire hazard and risk analysis in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 31000 to
the satisfaction of the Rail Infrastructure Manager / rail safety regulator. (54.13)
2.3 (R) Where a proposed vehicle design departs significantly from normal practice (e.g. a
vehicle employing reinforced plastic primary structures) then representative full scale
fire tests or pyrolysis modelling using recognised computational fluid dynamics software
should be undertaken to ensure that the radical design does not present any
unacceptable fire safety risks. (54.13)
3 IGNITION RISK MITIGATION MEASURES
3.1 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

3.1.1 (M) The design of locomotives shall, if reasonably practicable to do so, include
measures in the vehicle design to mitigate: (2.22, 5.17, 33.34, 4.34)

the demonstration of compliance with the following: (54.5)
(a) (R) Resistors, exhaust from combustion engines, heating elements,
catering/cooking equipment, and other radiant heat sources on the vehicle should
be suitably separated or protected from adjacent combustible component materials
such that the heat sources do not pose an ignition risk. (33.15, 33.22, 33.26, 33.25)
(b) (R) Equipment which has the potential to operate at high temperatures should be
fitted with systems to ensure that over temperature conditions are detected and
controlled to prevent fire generating conditions from occurring. (33.22, 33.25)

appropriate given their associated circuit protection and the magnitude of potential
fault currents. (33.25)
(d) (R) Compartments that contain batteries which could release flammable gases
under normal or fault conditions should be vented to the rolling stock exterior to
prevent such compartments presenting an explosion hazard. (4.34, 5.16)
(e) Refer to AS 2676.2 Section 3.3 for guidance on battery ventilation. (4.34, 5.16)
(f) (R) The installation design of high voltage equipment should ensure that ignition

designed to operate without causing an ignition event under normal and reasonably
foreseeable fault conditions. (33.25)
(h) (R) Heat producing catering equipment including ovens, microwave ovens, and
refrigerators should be installed so that OEM specified ventilation clearances are
maintained. (33.25, 33.26)
(i) (R) Suitable shielding should be provided to ensure that sparks from cast iron brake
blocks, if fitted, do not pose an ignition risk to underframe mounted combustible
component materials or locations on the underframe where litter, leaf matter, or
other inflammable debris may accumulate. (2.16)
3.2.2 (R) The performance requirement of clause 3.1.1b should be deemed to be satisfied by

to a place of ultimate safety. (46.22, 33.43, 33.17)
5.1.2 (M) The degree of material performance provided shall be commensurate with: (33.22,
