Rolling Stock, Aircraft, Building Materials: Application for International Standard

Rolling stock | Application for international standard for fire protection

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.

鉄道車両 NFPA 130

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.
