Amphenol is Qualified for EN 45545-2 Certification for its Rail and Mass Transit Products

Sidney, N.Y. August 2018- Amphenol Industrial Operations, a global leader in interconnect systems, has recently received EN 45545-2 certification for itsGT reverse bayonetand5015 product series. The certification is for the low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material used in these products and its fire behaviour when used in the rail and mass transit market.
EN 45545-2 certification ensures that materials used to limit fire development and produce low levels of smoke and toxic fumes, throughout the EU, are being used universally and are all tested to the same exacting standard. Not only does the certification ensure safety in the event of a fire, but also interoperability across rail systems.
The certification process was conducted by SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. The company is widely known as the global benchmark for quality and integrity

.Low smoke zero halogen
LSZH is a material that is commonly used in the insert of the connector. When exposed to flames and high levels of heat, LSZH materials produce a miniscule amount of visible smoke, compared to other materials like PVC; and includes no halogen, which can be harmful to humans.

Mark Cunningham, General Manager, Amphenol Industrial Operations, said, "Qualifying for this EN 45545-2 certification means we're fulfilling our promise to produce the highest quality connectors. LSZH materials are essential for use in the rail and mass transit market and this shows the technology is meeting the highest standard. We are delighted that we are able to offer our customers the safest and very best products available."
