Fire safety in rail transport
Coping with the transition to the new European reference standard 45545
The concept of fire safety in the transport sector;
The challenges and application of the EN 45545 standard “Fire protection of railway vehicles”;
Classification of materials used on existing vehicles according to the new standard on the basis of tests conducted in SNCF and RATP laboratories.
During a visit organised to their laboratories, SNCF and RATP will present their facilities for testing in accordance with the new standard.
Rail transport standards take on a European dimension.
To help you better to understand the latest developments, EURAILTEST and the SNCF and RATP laboratories would like to invite you to a Technical Information Day.
On this occasion, experts from SNCF, RATP, ALSTOM, LCPP and a certification body (CERTIFER) will present the background to the new standards and methods of simulation.

A detailed report will also be given on a comparative study conducted by SNCF, RATP and ALSTOM of tests carried out applying the NF and EN standards.
CERTIFER will also report on the series of comparisons made by European laboratories (EUROCOMPARISON)
During a visit to their laboratories, RATP and SNCF will present innovations in test methods and facilities to adapt to the new standard.
Both RATP and SNCF regularly perform fire tests on materials and have developed specific skills in different areas.
