EN 45545-2 is the European standard that specifies fire protection requirements for railway vehicles. It classifies materials and components by their fire behavior and assigns them to hazard levels (HL1, HL2, HL3) depending on the application. Rubber components used in passenger rail vehicles must meet the fire performance requirements of this standard.
We produce EN 45545-2 certified versions of our entire railway rubber product range. Certification is obtained through testing at accredited third-party laboratories and documented in official fire test reports that can be provided as part of the product compliance package.
US transit authorities increasingly specify EN 45545-2 as the fire performance benchmark in rolling stock procurement. The standard provides a more comprehensive and quantitative fire safety assessment than traditional pass/fail burning tests, making it well-suited for modern risk-based procurement frameworks.
When procuring EN 45545-2 certified rubber components for US projects, our team can provide the complete documentation package required by US transit authority specifications, including fire test reports, material declarations, and technical data sheets.
