Updated EU railway fire standard published
A new version EN 45545-2-2020 of the European railway materials fire safety standard is published. New standards for fire behaviour of a complete seat EN 16989 and toxicity test of materials and components EN 17084 are created replacing annexes A-B and C. Standardised substrates by EN 13238 and various clarifications are also made. The updated and the existing standard will co-exist for a transition period of three years to give time for the sector to adapt, and so that certificates with the previous version remain valid for this time.
