Buses for the public and private transport of passengers.
Modificación del Decreto Supremo N° 158/2013, del Ministerio de Transportes y Telecomunicaciones (Amendment to Supreme Decree No. 158/2013 of the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications) (2 pages, in Spanish)

Supreme Decree No. 158/2013 establishes safety systems and mechanisms for buses that provide public and private passenger transport services, including the so-called "Automatic fire detection and suppression system", which must meet the requirements and characteristics set forth in the "Guidelines for fixed automatic fire suppression systems on buses and coaches, SBF 128:1 - May 2005" of the Swedish Fire Protection Association.

Given that there is a new version of this text, and that Regulation No. 107 of the UN Economic Commission for Europe was supplemented by Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments, which establishes, inter alia, that the engine compartments of Class III buses (vehicles designed exclusively for the carriage of seated passengers) must be fitted with a fire suppression system (entry into force of amendment: 18 June 2016), it has been decided to amend Supreme Decree No. 158 of 2013, thereby updating the current legislation for a certain period and incorporating the above-mentioned Regulation No. 107.
