Fire retardant test of rail transit vehicle materials - American standard: NFPA130 (ASTM E 162, ASTM E 662)
NFPA 130 Flame Retardant Test, Fire Test – Standard Name:
NFPA 130 : Standard for fixed guideway transit and passenger rail systems.
NFPA 130 : Standard for railcar and passenger track systems
NFPA130 flame retardant test, fire test - standard scope of application:
The NFPA 130 standard covers the fire protection requirements for all subway, rail transit and passenger rail systems. The purpose of the NFPA130 standard is to establish unified minimum fire protection and hazard requirements for rail transmission and passenger railway systems.
