NFPA 130 – North American Standard
Used by US Rail authorities. Tests include:

EN 45545 – European Fire Safety
New European standard replaced existing national standards in Europe, and consists of seven
parts. Conduit performance is quoted to EN 45545-2. R22 is for interior parts and R23 is for
exterior parts. There are three defined levels of performance related to the reaction to fire: HL1,
HL2 and HL3. HL3 is the highest level of performance when it comes to the reaction to fires and is
specified for higher risk applications.
