The European railway standard for fire safety EN 45545-3 regulates the fire resistance of fire barriers. The requirements and measures defined in this part of the standard aim to protect passengers and staff in trains against onboard fire incidents. Fire resistance of fire barriers meet the classifications EN 45545-3 E45 and EI30.
EN 45545-3 Fire barriers can have different standards:
The lowest standard “E”
Barrier against flames, preventing fissure formation. "E45", for example, means that the specimen can withstand the test for 45 minutes.
The highest standard “EI”
Barrier against flames, preventing fissure formation and thermal insulation, which means that the temperature on the side facing away from the fire must not exceed 392° F (180°C above room temperature). "EI30", for example, means that the specimen can withstand the test for 30 minutes.
