    Scope

    Legt die im Brandfall an Bord erforderliche Weiterfahrfähigkeit von Personenfahrzeugen fest — wie weit und wie lange ein Zug aus eigener Kraft fahrfähig bleiben muss, um einen sicheren Evakuierungspunkt zu erreichen — eine Anforderung, die unmittelbar in Brandschutz- und Sicherheitsnachweise für Tunnel und unterirdische Strecken einfließt.
