Progress On A Sure Track In The Railway Industry

The railway industry operates in a harsh and demanding environment, so products must not only be extremely reliable and meet high quality requirements, but product safety is also a priority, as they are often installed in enclosed spaces (meaning they must comply with special regulations), and due to the hazardous nature of the industry, personal safety is also of paramount importance. Some considerations for product selection include:

  • Low Fire Hazard (LFH): in the railway industry, certain products/areas require strict safety measures to prevent fire spread or the generation of toxic fumes. At RS, we have numerous low fire hazard products, including protective conduits, connectors and cables. To be LFH products, they must possess all of the following characteristics: high flame retardancy, low smoke generation, low toxic fume content and halogen-free. Be careful when selecting these products, as some products claiming to be low smoke and fume (LSF) are not necessarily non-toxic.
  • Harsh environment: products must withstand all weather conditions and be extremely reliable in all circumstances. Therefore, RS can offer thousands of products from our range with up to IP69K protection rating. From high-visibility workwear to respirators and fall protection, we offer comprehensive solutions from a wide range of leading brands.
