NON-METALLIC MATERIAL SECTION

Fire safety in railway vehicles:

● Evaluation of compliance with fire safety requirements according to PN-EN 45545-1-7 and TSI SRT, TSI LOC&PAS, TSI WAG for rail vehicles.

● Evaluation of electrical and electrotechnical equipment on or in a railway vehicle.

● Laboratory tests of inflammability and smoke properties, as well as toxicity of the combustion products concerning the materials intended for the use in construction, equipment and repair of the rolling stock in accordance with the requirements of PN-EN 45545-2, tests to related standards:

  • PN-EN ISO 9239-1 (CHF, HF-X);
  • ISO 5658-2 (CFE);
  • ISO 5660-1 (MARHE);
  • PN-EN ISO 11925-2 (flame spread);
  • PN-EN ISO 4589-2 (OI);
  • PN-EN ISO 5659-2 (Ds max, Ds(4), VOF4);
  • PN-EN 45545-2+A1 Annex A and PN-EN 16989 (cut resistance);
  • ISO/TR 9705-2 and  PN-EN 45545-2+A1 Annex B (MARHE, RHR peak);
  • PN-EN ISO 17084 (CITG);
  • PN-EN 16989 (MARHE, RHR peak, TSP, flame height);
  • PN-EN 60332-3-24 and PN-EN 50305 p. 9 (burned length);
  • PN-EN 60332 1-2+A1+A11 (unburned length);
  • PN-EN 61034-2+A1 (transmittance);
  • PN-EN 60695-11-10 (time of burning and glowing);
  • PN-EN 60695-2-11 (occurrence of ignition and glow).

● Advice and expertise in the field of proper selection of structural and fitting materials as well as consumables for the rolling stock to enhance safety and to reduce losses resulting from the fires.
