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.

Les catégories d’exploitation et de conception définies dans le prEN 45545-1 sont utilisées pour établir les niveaux de risque qui sont utilisés comme la base du système de classification.
Pour chaque niveau de risque, cette partie spécifie la méthode d’essai, les conditions d’essai, et les exigences de réaction au feu.  
La description des mesures qui garantissent la préservation des véhicules en cas de feu, n’est pas dans le domaine d’application de la présente norme européenne.

Železniške naprave - Požarna zaščita na železniških vozilih - 2. del: Zahteve za obnašanje materialov in sestavnih delov v požaru

Ta del standarda EN 45545 določa zahteve odziva na ogenj za materiale in proizvode, ki se uporabljajo na železniških vozilih, kot je opisano v standardu EN 45545-1. Obratovalne in konstrukcijske kategorije, podane v standardu EN 45545-1, se uporabljajo za določanje stopenj tveganja, ki so podlaga za razvrstitev v sistem. Za vsako stopnjo tveganja so v tem delu specifikacije določene preskusne metode, preskusni pogoji in zahteve odziva na ogenj. V okviru tega evropskega standarda niso opisani ukrepi, ki zagotavljajo zaščito vozil v primeru požara.

4 Requirements 4.1 Essential fire safety objectives The design of rolling stock and the products used shall incorporate the aim of limiting fire development should an ignition event occur so that an acceptable level of safety is achieved. If the objectives defined in Clause 4 of EN 45545-1:2013 are met, then there should be a high probability that in the event of a fire, passengers and staff will be able to escape from the fire unaided and be able to reach a place of safety. Hazard levels (HL 1 to HL 3) have been determined using a product of the relation between operation categories and design categories defined in EN 45545-1, as described in Table 1. Hazard levels are used in Table 5 for Material Fire Safety requirement classification. Table 1 — Hazard level classification Operation

4.2 General The following principles are applicable to all products: a) products which comply with the highest level of reaction to fire performance and therefore need no further testing are:  products classified as A1 according to EN 13501-1;  all products described in commission decision 96/603/EC (as amended); b) products classified as A2 – s1, d0 according to EN 13501-1 are considered compliant with regard to flame spread, heat release and smoke emission requirements only. The toxic emissions limit shall satisfy the requirements of R1 HL3 (CIT<0,75); c) electrical cables which satisfy the fire safety requirements of EN 50306, EN 50264 or EN 50382 are considered to satisfy the requirements of R15 and R16 for the corresponding hazard level (no further testing required); d) where a product has a continuous aluminium or steel substrate and where the thickness of the substrate metal is equal to or greater than defined in Table 7, it is sufficient to test the product with the thickness given in Table 7; e) a product, other than an electric cable, meeting a requirement at two different thicknesses with identical formulations shall be considered to comply with the requirement at all intermediate thicknesses. Electric SIST EN 45545-2:2013



EN 45545-2:2013 (E) 9
cables meeting a requirement at two different diameters with identical formulations shall be considered to comply with the requirement at all intermediate diameters; f) a test which qualifies any product or surface shall also qualify any product or surface which differs in colour and/ or pattern; g) multi layer products shall be tested in the end use condition; h) mechanical or electrical products contained in a technical cabinet may be considered as unclassified products if:  the technical cabinet satisfies the requirements of integrity criterion E10, based on the definitions described in EN 45545-1 and EN 45545-3 and the enclosed volume is ≤ 2 m3;
 or the technical cabinet satisfies the requirements of integrity criterion E15 and insulation criterion I15 to surfaces adjacent to passenger area and staff area and integrity criterion E15 to other surfaces, based on the definitions described in EN 45545-1 with no volume limitations;
 or the technical cabinet is protected by an automatic fire detection and fire extinguishing system; i) all coating systems shall be tested in end use condition. This means inclusion of levelling fillers at a thickness estimated at mean end use application, primers and finish coatings with specified coating thickness and number of layers; j) where a coating (including vinyls, films and their adhesives) is applied to aluminium or steel in the end use condition and where the thickness of the metal is greater than those defined in Table 7 it is sufficient to test the coating on the reference
