Frequently Asked Questions

What are the regulations and certifications that an insulating sheath must comply with in order to be used in the railway and/or rail transport sector?
Insulating sheaths, whether they be heat-shrinkable, silicone, braided in polyamide, Wrap Around or fibreglass coated with silicone must comply with EN45545 in order to be used in the railway sector. It is necessary to define the classification level HL1 – HL2 – HL3, together with the risk level, R22 – R23 in order to identify the suitable sheath for each type of use.
What are the differences between the various classification levels, HL1-HL2-HL3 and between the risk levels R22 – R23?
The classification level HL1-HL2-HL3, together with the risk level R22 – R23 define in which area the chosen sheath can be used. Needless to say, a sheath with a maximum classification level, HL3, can be used for all uses where lower classifications such as HL1 – HL2 are required.
CLASSIFICATION LEVEL HL1 – HL2 – HL3
HL1 à A sheath that can be used for surface trains that do not go through tunnels, for example a city tram;

HL2 à A sheath that can be used for surface trains that go through tunnels, for example a normal freight/passenger train and all high-speed trains;


HL3 à A sheath that can be used for trains that run mainly on underground railways, i.e. Subway/Metro;
RISK CLASS R22 – R23
All items that are not found within other lists, (such as, for example, doors, seats, cables, brakes, mattresses etc.) and that have an exposed surface less than or equal to 0.20 m2 belong to the 2 R22 – R23 risk classes. For the sake of convention, heat shrink sheaths are considered to be within these 2 groups.

R23 à The sheath can be used outside the wagon

R22 à The sheath can be used inside the wagon

A sheath with a maximum risk class, R22, can be used for all uses where lower risk classes such as R23 are required.

As a result, since the specifications requiring an R22 risk class are stricter than those requiring an R23 risk class, it follows that if the sheath has an HL3 classification level and an R22 risk class, the sheath in question can be used both outside and inside the wagon.
What are the applications for which sheaths are used that comply with the EN45545 railway sector standard?
Insulating sheaths, compliant with the EN45545 standard for the railway sector, are usually used inside:
Ø WCML + SBB electrical panels
Ø RAILWAY CARRIAGES body interior
What are the main features of sheaths that comply with EN45545?
Ø Operating temperature: -60°C ÷ +260°C
Ø Self-extinguishing
Ø Peak temperatures: * 800°C for 30 minutes
* 1,100°C for 15 minutes
* 1,500°C for 1 minute
Ø Fire behaviour and determination of fumes and gases; HL3 according to requirement R22-R23 of railway standard EN45545
What are the delivery times for sheaths that comply with the EN45545 standard for the railway sector?
Sheaths compliant with EN45545 are available for immediate delivery
