The UK Rail Industry is gearing up for a new European safety standard with the introduction of EN45545-2:2013 which will replace BS6853, DIN 5510, NF F 16-101, NF16-102 and UNI CEI 11170.1.3.
MacLellan Rubber, renowned for manufacturing and supplying materials that adhere to stringent quality and health & safety standards across a range of industry sectors, is on track to supply
EPDM material that meets the new
EN45545 requirements.
The new standard specifies requirements for fire behaviour of materials and components used in trains. In the event of a fire, materials and components should limit fire development and produce low levels of smoke and toxic fumes and comply with test methods that assess performance and meet the required standards.
