Rail transit vehicle material flame retardant test, fire test - European standard: EN45545-2 (PrCEN TS 45545-2)

 

EN45545-2 / PrCEN TS 45545-2 Rail vehicle materials flame retardant test, fire test - standard name: 
EN45545-2: Fire protection of railway vehicles - Part 2: Requirement for fire behaviors of materials and components / EN45545-2: Fire protection of railway vehicles - Part 2: Requirement for fire behaviors of materials and components 

 

Ä EN45545-2 / PrCEN TS 45545-2 Testing of flame retardant and fireproof materials for rail vehicle materials - Overview of the standard: 

 

The contents of EN45545-2 are: 
  • Functional description of fire safety objects 
  • Grade and required grade of homogeneous materials 
  • Testing methods for homogeneous material grades 
  • Characteristic requirements for system testing 
  • Basic requirements for testing and test sample selection 
  • Internal structural materials 

 

EN 45545 clarifies:
  • Test methods for rail vehicle fire protection 
  • Validation of these test methods 
  • The purpose of the tests and requirements is: to protect passengers and cabin crew in the event of fire 

 

The rail vehicles defined in EN 45545 are:

  • Motor trains Long - distance buses      
  • Light rail Metro
  • Tram Trolley bus
  • Magnetic levitation train 

 

EN45545-2 / PrCEN TS 45545-2 Testing of flame retardant and fireproof materials for rail vehicle materials - Scope of application of the standard : 
The purpose of the EN45545-2 European rail vehicle flame retardant and fire test standard is to formulate rules related to material selection based on the material's flammability and related response to fire, smoke impermeability and toxicity of gas emissions.

 

There are the following indicators and parameters to evaluate fire protection performance: 
  • Combustion Heat release
  • Smoke Toxicity

 

Testing methods are unique and depend on the material’s classification: 
  • Structured surfaces and related products 
  • Furniture products 
  • Electronic equipment 
  • Mechanical equipment 

 

EN45545-2 / PrCEN TS 45545-2 Rail vehicle materials flame retardant testing, fire-resistant materials testing - test methods 

The test methods of EN45545-2 are: 
  • Small -scale combustion test method for safety components 
  • Test flame extension according to IMO International Maritime Organization provisions 
  • Tested for smoke and toxicity according to European smoke chamber method EN ISO 5659
