LIST OF MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS

In order to justify the conformity of a rolling stock concerning fire safety, a

list of materials and components has to be established according to EN

45545-2.

Below, the table used by SNCF:

Small electrotechnical products : EL10

•EN 45545-1 in the scope precises that «The protection of passengers and

staff is essentially based on measures to […] minimise the effects of fire in

terms of heat, smoke and toxic gases on passengers or staff through the

specification of materials installed on railway vehicles (Part 2)"

•Requirement R26 does not allow to respect this sentence due to the lack

of smoke testing

•Grouping rules because non-listed products

•R26 + R22 for interior products

•R26 + R23 for exterior products

2-3 MARCH 2016 - BERLIN

•Casing : external surface of small electrical

component (see IEC 60529 (or EN60529)

§3.1 or IEV 826-03-12) against direct

contact. This external surface reduce risk of

fire to propagate from inside toward outside

the electrical equipment and so to ignite

other component located in it vicinity.

•Casing has to fulfil the NLI rules (Chap 4.3)

in term of fire ands smoke qualification level.

•No requirement apply to parts located inside

this casing .

•This proposal is due to :

•very small quantity of O2 ,

•fire &smoke qualification of casing,

•very low weight/volume of combustible

material in each casing

Contactor relay

REQUIREMENTS ACCORDING TO STM S 001

24

§ 4.7 Products to be approved on functional necessity

•Respect of essential safety requirements defined in EN 45545-1

•Evaluation file to justify the application :

• Valid NF F 16-101, NF F 16-102 certificates

•Demonstration of the nonexistence of a product in accordance with

EN 45545-2 and other performance needed by the required functions

of the product

•Inclusion of the return of experience or data from full-scale test on

rolling stock

•The absence of possible use of a satisfactory alternative product
