    Scope

    Especifica la capacidad de marcha exigida al material rodante de viajeros en caso de incendio a bordo — hasta dónde y durante cuánto tiempo debe permanecer un tren capaz de circular por sus propios medios para alcanzar un punto de evacuación seguro — un requisito que se integra directamente en los casos de seguridad contra incendios de túneles y tramos subterráneos.
