Welcome to Fire Protection of Rolling Stock 2006
Establishing a pan-European way forward in standards,
infrastructure, vehicles and fire safety
8th March – 9th March 2006, London
The rolling stock value chain of the railway industry is undergoing a profound transformation. A change headed by two acronyms: EN & TSI.
The Pan-European unified set of standards, combined with the current Fire Protection practices of railway companies, is poised to change the structure and outcome of the massive array of rolling stock & fire safety programmes, not only through the industry supply chain, but also through the way rolling stock manufacturers and operators interact in the marketplace.
Knowing that there is an undeniable potential of fire protection effectiveness and rolling stock enhancement in implementing EN45545, the players from the railway and underground arena are more and more focused on how to better achieve the interoperability process and technical harmonisation and gain ROI through improved safety programmes. Realising the benefits means, of course, meeting key challenges, such as: a mandatory change in engineering, exploitation and business processes that the fire safety norms` development implies and will prompt; defining further the regulatory frame, etc.
After thorough research with high-level industry players and organisations, we at VIB events are delighted to lead you beyond the EN & TSI hype-cycle, converting the general excitement about their implementation into a solid business real-world experience, through a savvy mix of real-life case studies and expertise.
Whether you are a corporate decision-maker, researcher, or technology specialist; whether your company is actively overseeing advanced EN & TSI compliance projects, or is yet to deploy them, knowledge imparted at this conference will be invaluable.
Stay proactive: do not adopt a wait-and-see attitude! Join this unmissable forum and leave it prepared to stay on the leading edge when the moment of EN mandatory implementation comes!
We at VIB events look forward to welcoming you to London on 8th – 9th of March 2006, for this important and inspirational industry event!
