ALESTA POWDER COATINGS FROM AXALTA COATING SYSTEMS ATTAIN FIRE SAFETY APPROVAL FROM THE EUROPEAN RAILWAY AGENCY Le vernici in polvere Alesta di Axalta Coating Systems ottengono la certificazione antincendio da parte dell’Agenzia Ferroviaria Europea

xalta Coating Systems, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings, has received the European Fire and Smoke certification – EN 45-545 – from the European Railway Agency (ERA) for its entire Alesta range. This new European standard, which will completely replace national standards by 2017, aims to guarantee harmonisation of standards and to provide a high level of safety for European rail travel. The Alesta powder coatings range, which is used extensively internally and externally on rolling stock throughout Europe, has been thoroughly and independently tested over many months to gain EN 45-545 fire and smoke certification. “It is obviously fantastic news that the ERA has passed our Alesta range for certification of this wide-reaching fire and smoke standard for the rail industry. Our products are usually developed to enhance the beauty of objects in some way, but it is very important to know that they may also contribute to the safety of passengers and staff in the very unlikely event of a fire. Strict safety guidelines, like EN 45545, are certainly welcomed by Axalta,” says Markus Koenigs, Marketing Communications Manager for Axalta’s powder business in EMEA.

xalta Coating Systems, tra i maggiori fornitori globali di vernici liquide e in polvere, ha ottenuto la certificazione EN 45-545 (European Fire and Smoke certification), dall’Agenzia Ferroviaria Europea per l’intera gamma Alesta. Questo nuovo standard europeo, che andrà a sostituire in toto i modelli nazionali entro il 2017, mira a garantire l’armonizzazione degli standard e a fornire un alto livello di sicurezza nel settore ferroviario europeo. Per ottenere la certificazione antincendio EN 45-545 la gamma delle vernici in polvere Alesta, molto utilizzata internamente ed esternamente sui mezzi su rotaia in tutta Europa, è stata scrupolosamente testata da un ente indipendente nell’arco di diversi mesi. “Il fatto che l’Agenzia Ferroviaria Europea abbia concesso alla nostra gamma Alesta un’ampia certificazione antincendio per il settore ferroviario è ovviamente una notizia fantastica. I nostri prodotti sono normalmente pensati per aumentare la bellezza degli oggetti, ma è molto importante sapere che possono anche contribuire alla sicurezza dei passeggeri e degli equipaggi in caso di incendio. Severe linee guida di sicurezza come l’EN 45-545 sono sicuramente ben accolte da Axalta”, ha commentato Markus Koenigs, Marketing Communications Manager - settore vernici in polvere Axalta per la zona EMEA.
