LES COMPOSITES THERMODURCISSABLES
ET LA NORME EN 45 545
En Europe, chaque pays possède son classement Feu Fumée et ses
normes pour le domaine d'application du transport sur rails.
La famille de produits IDITrain présente des références en
fonction de ces différentes classifications.
La nouvelle norme Feu Fumée EN 45 545 sera appliquée dans un futur proche. L'objectif est de
garantir la sécurité des passagers et du personnel, et de prévenir les situations d'urgence
potentielles.
IDI Composites Europe a développé des produits innovants pour répondre aux exigences de
cette nouvelle norme.
