Do you have enclosures that comply with EN45545 for rail industry applications?
Short answer
EN45545 has been mandatory for fire protection on European rail vehicles for several years, and Spelsberg has worked with rail industry customers on compliant solutions since before the standard took effect. Its WKE junction box range is tested to EN60670, with standard enclosures continually developed to meet EN45545 requirements alongside bespoke, customer-specific fire-safety solutions.
Thank you for the question. As EN45545 has been mandatory across Europe for seveeral years and is something that Spelsberg took a keen interest in even before then. We have several customers across Europe in the Rail Industry and we provide customised solutions for a range of applications.
As it stands, we have a standard range of junction boxes that have been designed to provide function guarantee for a set period of time in the case of fire. The WKE range is currently tested to the existing EN 60670 standard.
Because we want to provide security and peace-of-mind for all our Rail Industry partners, Spelsberg tackles the standard in two ways:
-
We are continually developing and testina new standard enclosures which are designed specifically to the requirements of EN45545 to help as wide a bredth of customers in the industry as possible.
-
Spelsberg specialises in working with customers to create customised solutions to suit many bespoke industrial environments. We use this expertise to work with customer and test authorities to customise and adapt existing enclosures where suitable. This is possible thanks to our in-house VDE and UL certified test centre that allows us to offer fast turnaround on bespoke work.
