Excerpt from Fire Safety of Passenger Trains: A Review of Current Approaches and of New Concepts Specific requirements for the flammability of materials in rail transportation vehicles first appeared in 1966 These rail car specifications dictated flame tests for seat foam materials before the material use would be approved for the original Metroliner passenger rail cars. The National Academy of Sciences [12] provided general guidelines in 1979 for the use of flammable materials in rail transit vehicles. These guidelines recommended the use of only those polymeric materials that by testing and comparison, are judged to be the most fire retardant and that have the lowest smoke and toxic gas emission rates. Further, they suggested these be used sparingly, consistent with comfort and serviceability. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
