In the global railway and transportation field, fire safety and operational reliability are uncompromising core priorities. EN45545, the mandatory fire safety standard for railway vehicles and components across the European and global markets, has become a critical threshold for accessing international markets. SGS-an internationally recognized testing, inspection-partners with our EN45545-certified insulation materials to deliver integrated "product + testing + compliance" solutions, helping clients capitalize on opportunities in the global railway industry.

Backed by decades of industry experience, SGS's test reports are globally accepted, providing solid technical support for your EN45545 compliance verification.
II. EN45545 Certification: The Benchmark for Railway Insulation Safety
EN45545 serves as the unified fire safety standard for railway applications, setting strict requirements for material performance in terms of flame spread, smoke density, toxic gas emission, and heat release. For insulation materials used in railway vehicles (such as interiors, electrical systems, and power units), EN45545 certification classifies products into hazard levels based on their specific application scenarios-ensuring maximum safety in the event of a fire.
For enterprises, EN45545-certified insulation materials offer three core values:
Facilitating Global Market Access: Recognized in major railway markets including EU member states, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, it removes trade barriers for the export of railway components.
Enhancing Safety Assurance: Compliant with strict fire performance indicators, it reduces fire risks and elevates the overall safety level of railway vehicles.
Boosting Brand Credibility: Demonstrates a company's commitment to safety and quality, strengthening competitiveness in bids and collaborations with railway operators and manufacturers.
III. Our EN45545-Certified Insulation Materials: Tailored for Railway Application
We specialize in developing and producing insulation materials that meet EN45545 standards, with a product portfolio covering key railway application scenarios. Our certified products-including F871 (Bismaleimide), F622 (GPO-3), F890.1(F895NH), F881 (FR4), and SMC-have all undergone rigorous testing to fully comply with EN45545 requirements.
Core Certified Products & Their Advantages
F871 (Bismaleimide): EN45545-certified, with exceptional Class H high-temperature resistance and low smoke toxicity. It is an ideal choice for insulation in high-power railway traction systems.
F622 (GPO-3): EN45545-compliant, featuring excellent Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and flame retardancy (UL 94 V0). Suitable for insulation in railway high-voltage electrical cabinets and switchgear, it is validated through SGS testing for arc endurance and fire performance.
F890.1(F895NH): A halogen-free insulation material with eco-friendly flame retardancy and low smoke emission. Perfect for insulation in railway passenger compartment electrical components and battery packs, it has passed SGS environmental reliability testing.
F881 (FR4): A classic epoxy glass cloth laminate certified by EN45545, with stable dielectric properties and strong mechanical strength. Widely used for insulation in railway signal systems and control panels, SGS routine performance testing ensures consistent product quality.
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound): Offers high rigidity, impact resistance, and excellent fire safety. Applied in structural insulation for railway vehicle bodies and exterior components, it has been verified through SGS testing for mechanical performance and flame spread.
IV. Integrated Service Advantages: Going Beyond Certified Products
