Allied Tube & Conduit 145 atkore.com/flexicon Flexicon Our product development programme involves extensive testing to the latest Rail Industry standards to ensure the safety of our products, thus providing confidence for specifiers and consultants when it comes to their reaction to fire. EN 45545 - European Fire Safety This new European standard is rapidly replacing national standards in Europe and consists of 7 parts. Conduit performance is quoted to EN 45545-2. R22 is for interior parts and R23 is for exterior parts. There are three defined levels of performance related to the reaction of fire, HL1, HL2 and HL3. HL3 is the highest level of performance when it comes to the reaction to fire, and will be specified for higher risk applications. NFPA 130 - North American Standard This standard is used by US Rail authorities. Tests called up by NFPA 130 are ASTM E 162 (for flammability) and ASTM E 662 (for smoke). Other North American standards are: ASTM E 1354 Heat Load, Boeing BSS 7239 Toxicity NF F 16-101/2 This French rail standard consists of an Ignition rating (I) and a Fume Rating (F). The lower the number the higher the level of performance when it comes to the reaction to fire. I2 F2 offers more protection than I3 F2. DIN 5510 This German standard consists of three elements including Flame Spread, Smoke evolution and Flaming droplets. Products categorisation looks like this: S4 / SR2 / ST2. AS/NZS 1530.3 - Australian Standard This standard is used by Australian Rail. CEI 11170 - Italian Standard This standard is used by the Italian Rail. Products categorisation looks like this: LR4.
