Heat & Smoke Release Testing Machine EN 45545-2 Compliant Kdm Global

Heat & Smoke Release Testing Machine – EN 45545-2 Compliant | KDM GlobalProduct Overview

• Measures heat release rate (HRR) and smoke production rate (SPR) of materials under controlled fire exposure

• Fully compliant with EN 45545-2, especially Annex A & Annex B requirements for railway vehicle materials

• Uses cone calorimetry principle per ISO 5660-1 to simulate real fire scenarios

• Ideal for testing rail interior components like wall panels, seats, cables, flooring, and coatings

Applicable Standards

• EN 45545-2: Fire protection for railway vehicles – HL1, HL2, HL3 performance levels

• ISO 5660-1: Heat release rate (HRR), Total Heat Release (THR), Mass Loss Rate (MLR)

• ISO 5660-2: Smoke production and ignition time under radiant heat

• ASTM E1354: Cone Calorimeter testing for reaction-to-fire of materials

• Optional: ISO 5660 + FTIR integration for toxic gas measurement
