EN 50305:2002 Railway applications – Railway rolling stock cables having special fire performance-Test methods

EN 50305:2002 is a standard specifying test methods for railway rolling – stock cables with special fire – performance. Its main purpose is to ensure that these cables can meet specific fire – protection requirements in case of a fire, thus safeguarding the safety of passengers and cargo.

The standard covers a range of tests to assess the fire – resistance of cables. It includes flammability tests to evaluate the self – ignition ability of cable materials, low – smoke and low – toxicity tests to measure the smoke and toxic gas generation, anti – dripping tests to prevent the spread of fire caused by dripping, and mechanical property tests to ensure cable durability. These tests are carried out in a laboratory environment, and the specific test methods and conditions are described in detail in the standard, which is of great significance for ensuring the quality and fire – resistance of railway rolling – stock cables.
