From pre-consulting, testing to consulting
The railway system is the field which attracts attention as one of the pillars in promoting exportation of public-private integrated infrastructure, but regulations differ from country to country and it is necessary to meet the international standards for those projects at exporting. Particularly about fire protection standards for rolling stock, North America and EU both have their own standards and they are utilized worldwide including in emerging countries.
Examples of fire protection standards for rolling stock in overseas
NFPA 130 (North America) |
EN 45545 (EU) |
TB/T 3237 (China) |
BS 6853 (UK) |
DIN 5510-2 (Germany) |
NF F 16-101, -102 (France) |
UNI 11170 (Italy) |
Chemitox provides comprehensive support for
compliance with these international standards with
our own testing laboratory and know-how, and a
network with overseas organizations.
As an one-stop testing service provider, we offer customer from establishing test program,
carrying out the necessary test to technical consultation regarding the interpretation of the standard and the test methods.
Cooperating with overseas organizations, we offer the solution as various fire hazard analysis and
documentation to railway operator which are
necessary for designing the entire rolling stock.
Fire protection standards for rolling stock Database for Applicable Material
We provide the latest information of applicable
material by creating and updating the database of
rolling stock materials which meet domestic and
international fire protection standards.
