Railway Safety in Europe & the Importance of EN45545 Compliance

Rail transport is the backbone of Europe’s mobility, connecting millions of people daily while facilitating freight movement across the continent. With increasing demands for sustainability, efficiency, and passenger comfort, railway systems must adhere to strict safety regulations. Among these, fire safety is a critical aspect, ensuring that materials used in rolling stock minimize fire hazards and protect passengers and staff.

The EN45545 standard was developed to harmonize fire safety requirements for railway materials across European countries. It defines fire behavior, smoke toxicity, and heat release criteria, ensuring that components used in train interiors and technical installations meet stringent fire protection standards. Compliance with EN45545 is mandatory for manufacturers supplying materials for railway applications, ensuring uniform safety across national borders.
