PD CEN/TR 14819-1:2004 Safety recommendations for cableway installations designed to carry persons-Prevention and fight against fire-Part 1:Funicular railways in tunnels
This part of CEN/TR 14819 specifies safety recommendations applicable to the prevention and fighting of fires
in funicular railways in tunnels that may endanger the health and safety of persons.
This part of CEN/TR 14819 covers the design, manufacture, construction, maintenance and operation of all
funicular railways running in tunnels of length greater than 300 m or where the evacuation zones are more
than 300 m apart, an evacuation zone being comparable to a station from the point of view of protecting
passengers against fire risks. Tunnels with these characteristics are called "long tunnels" in the following.
For shorter tunnels, some of the same measures could be applied depending on the results of the installation
safety study and taking account particularly of the number of passengers and the width of the evacuation
passage.
With regard to these fire problems, it is essential to take organizational measures relating to operation, but
these are not covered in this document
