Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 2: Requirements for fire behavior of materials and components
This part of EN 45545 specifies the reaction to fire performance requirements for materials and products used on railway vehicles as defined in EN 45545-1.
The operation and design categories defined in EN 45545-1 are used to establish hazard levels that are used as the basis of a classification system.
For each hazard level, this part specifies the test methods, test conditions and reaction to fire performance requirements.
It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the vehicles in the event of a fire.
Bahnanwendungen - Brandschutz in Schienenfahrzeugen - Teil 2: Anforderungen an das Brandverhalten von Materialien und Komponenten
Dieses Dokument legt die Brandschutzanforderungen an Werkstoffe und Komponenten für Schienenfahrzeuge nach EN 45545-1 fest.
Die Betriebs- und Bauartklassen nach EN 45545-1 werden verwendet, um die Gefährdungsstufen (en: Hazard Level; HL) zu ermitteln, nach denen sich die Anforderungen des Klassifizierungssystems orientieren.
Für jede Gefährdungsstufe legt dieser Teil die Prüfmethoden, Prüfbedingungen und die Anforderungen an das Brandverhalten fest.
Maßnahmen, die die Erhaltung der Fahrzeuge im Brandfall sicherstellen, gehören nicht zum Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments.
Applications ferroviaires - Protection contre les incendies dans les véhicules ferroviaires - Partie 2: Exigences du comportement au feu des matériaux et des composants
Cette partie de l’EN 45545 spécifie les exigences de performance de réaction au feu pour les matériaux et produits utilisés à bord de véhicules ferroviaires telles que définies dans l’EN 45545-1.
Les catégories d’exploitation et de conception définies dans l’EN 45545-1 sont utilisées pour établir les niveaux de risque servant de base au système de classification.
Pour chaque niveau de risque, cette partie spécifie les méthodes d’essai, les conditions d’essai, et les exigences de performance de réaction au feu.
Il n’est pas dans le champ d’application de la présente Norme européenne de décrire les mesures de protection des véhicules lors d’un incendie.

4.3.1 General
Products compliant to Table 2 or Table 3 are excluded from the grouping assessment.
No requirements apply to products with a combustible mass of ≤ 10g in touching contact only
with a product compliant to Table 2 and Table 3.
To assess products within the grouping rules the following parameters have to be considered.
Products shall be assessed within the grouping rules if:
— the exposed area of each product is ≤ 0,2 m ; and
— the combustible mass of each product is > 10 g or they are in touching contact with another
unclassified combustible product; and
— the horizontal distance is ≤ 20 mm and the vertical distance is ≤ 200 mm to a combustible
product not assessed to Table 2, Table 3 or R24 according to rule 2; and
— they are not fully separated by a product compliant with the fire integrity requirement of
5.3.7.
The combustible masses of the products in this group shall be summed. The assessment process
described in 4.3.2 to 4.3.4 is visualized in the flow chart in Figure 1.
