Product Description
EN 45545-2 Smoke Density & Visibility Testing Systems Compliant with ISO 5659-2 and UIC 564-2
KDM Global provides specialized EN 45545-2 smoke density and visibility testing systems engineered for evaluating the smoke production and optical visibility characteristics of materials used in rail vehicle interiors. Designed in accordance with ISO 5659-2 and UIC 564-2, our systems support full compliance with EN 45545-2 R-class requirements across HL1, HL2, and HL3 hazard levels.
These instruments are essential for fire safety classification of rail coach components such as flooring, wall panels, seat cushions, cable insulation, and coated fabrics. The system accurately measures specific optical density (Ds), transmittance, and supports visibility analysis during material combustion under controlled conditions.
Key Features:
EN 45545-2, ISO 5659-2 & UIC 564-2 compliant design
Dual test modes: 26 kW/m�² (with pilot flame) and non-flaming mode
Precision laser photometry system for measuring light obscuration
Robust sealed test chamber with specimen holder and gas exhaust unit
Digital logging of Ds, VOF4, transmittance, and time to peak smoke production
Optional integration with FTIR toxic gas analysis module
Applications:
Smoke density and visibility testing for rail coach interior materials
Used in material classification for R Classes (e.g., R1, R2, R6, R7, R21) under EN 45545-2
