Cone Calorimeter for EN 45545-2 | Railway Fire Testing Equipment

KDM Global offers a precision-engineered Cone Calorimeter (ISO 5660) designed specifically for compliance with EN 45545-2, the European railway standard for fire safety of materials and components. Our equipment helps manufacturers ensure that their products meet the stringent fire hazard levels required for railway applications.

What is EN 45545-2?

EN 45545-2 is part of the broader EN 45545 railway fire safety standard, which specifies requirements for the fire behavior of materials and products used in railway vehicles. It classifies materials into different Requirement Sets (R1 to R26) and Hazard Levels (HL1 to HL3) based on their location and application within the vehicle.

Why Use a Cone Calorimeter for EN 45545-2?

The Cone Calorimeter provides essential measurements required by EN 45545-2, such as:

• Heat Release Rate (HRR)
• Total Heat Release (THR)
• Mass Loss Rate (MLR)
• Time to Ignition (TTI)
• Effective Heat of Combustion
• MAHRE (Maximum Average Heat Release Rate)

These parameters are used to determine the fire propagation behavior of materials and are mandatory for requirement sets like R1, R10, R22, R23 under EN 45545-2.

Applications in Railway Industry

Our ISO 5660 Cone Calorimeter is used for testing a variety of materials in railway environments, including:

• Wall and ceiling panels
• Flooring materials (ISO 9239 Flooring Radiant Panel for complementary testing)
• Seat cushions and upholstery
• Interior linings and insulation materials

EN 45545 Requirement Sets & Hazard Levels

EN 45545-2 classifies products based on their intended use with specific test requirements. For example:

• R1: Interior walls, ceiling, and partitions
• R10: Cables and cable trays
• R22 & R23: Seating elements and tables

Each requirement set corresponds to hazard levels HL1 (low risk) to HL3 (high risk), which determine the pass/fail thresholds for heat release and smoke density. Materials tested with our Cone Calorimeter can be classified and certified according to these categories.
