Part 2: InstallationThe High-Performance Fanless System is designed for installation interior vehicles. Based on the closed design
except for the connection Port, the inner grouping will be separated from the adjacent components of the vehicle.
However, the connector cable should be connected with the external parts under normal use. It is impossible toknow the details around the High-Performance Fanless System, within horizontal distance 20mm and verticaldistance 200mm and then it is excluded in this report.
Part 3: Materials/components list
The evaluation is based on the combustible mass of materials. Therefore, all combustible materials (Non metallicmaterials) will be considered. Metallic materials and inorganics are not combustible and therefore they will not betaken into account.
According to the sample details and the specification of EN 45545-2, the following materials are relevant forevaluation:

V. Basis of this assessment
The basis for the evaluation of fire safety is the classification of vehicle types where the High-Performance Fanless
System will be installed.
Following classifications are taken as basis:
EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023 Railway applications—Fire protection on railway vehicles Part 2: Requirements forfire behaviour of materials and components, Hazard Level HL1, HL2 &HL3.

Page 8 of 11VI. Assessment according to EN 45545-2
Based on the requirements of EN 45545-2, the fire safety requirements for materials of electrical and electronicdevices are defined in according to the installation location.
Considering the mass of combustible material of the High-Performance Fanless System, EN 45545-2 clause 4.2n) “if listed products are used in an application below the mass and area thresholds given in 4.3, they may betreated as non-listed products” is applicable.
Therefore, the requirements of clause 4.3 “Grouping rules” will be assessed.
Key applicable grouping rules:-

No requirements apply to products with a combustible mass of < 10 g not in touching contact only witha product compliant to Table 2 and Table 3..

-If fully separated by a plate compliant with the fire integrity requirement of 5.3.7, then assign as different
group.

-4.3.2 Rule 1

If the total combustible mass of the grouped products is— < 100 g for interior grouped products; or— < 400 g for exterior grouped products;
no requirements apply to the products of this group.
This principle also applies to single products that meet the requirements of 4.3.1.
-4.3.3 Rule 2

If the total combustible mass of the grouped products is— < 500 g for interior grouped products; or— < 2000 g for exterior grouped products;
one combustible product of this group has to be tested according to R24.
If this product is compliant to R24 it shall not be considered for further assessment of this group. Theremaining products in this group shall be assessed starting with 4.3.1 again.
This principle also applies to single products that exceed the mass limits of Rule 1.
Clause 4.2 General,m) if listed products are used in an application below the mass and area thresholds given in 4.3, they may betreated as non-listed products.

Assessment:
1. PCB1,PCB2,PCB3
As showed within the test report SDFS2403001780FF, SDFS2403001781FF& SDFS2403001782FF, the test
results of samples are Glow Wire Temperature: 850°C, complies with the requirements of HL1, HL2 &HL3. definedin R25 of EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023..
Technical equipment on the PCB
Based on the requirements of EN 45545-2 EL9, Printed circuit boards with all varnishes applied but without any
attached technical equipment and no more specification for the attached technical equipment within EN 45545-2.
The attached technical equipment components will be accepted without any testing because of their functional
necessity as stated in EN 45545-2:2020, clause 4.7
2. Gery and blue thermal conductive adhesive
The mass of blue thermal conductive adhesive is 69.2g and grey thermal conductive adhesive is 44.3g, total
combustible mass is113.5 g (less than 500g). Therefore, under the Clause 4.3.3 of EN 45545-2, should meet R24of EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023. As showed within the test report SDFS2403001778FF & SDFS2401000380FF,
the test results of samples are OI＞60%, complies with the requirements of HL1, HL2 &HL3 defined in R24 of EN45545-2:2020+A1:2023.
3. Wires
The wires include non-metallic connectors, non-metallic insulating sheath and inner metal wire core. According toTable 2 Requirements of listed products of EN 45545-2, non-metallic connectors can be considered as EL10 andmeet R26 of EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023. As showed within the UL Card No. E304813, the Flame Class of theplastic material used in the non-metallic connectors is V0, complies with the requirements of HL1, HL2 &HL3
defined in R26 of EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023.
The remained combustible mass of non-metallic insulating sheath is less than 100g for grouped products.
Therefore, under the Clause 4.3.1 of EN 45545-2, exempt from the fire requirements defined in EN 455452:2020+A1:2023.

Assessment of the risks of a further fire development:
Because of its tight design and metal enclosure except the openings required for the final application, the ignition
and fire occurring inside and outside the device are limited. Also, the quantity of the combustion materials islimited. Also, the quantity of the combustion materials is limited. A fire development and spreading from thisproduct are thus also not conceivable.
Based on the test report and evaluation, it shows that the product does not have recognizable ignition and firerisks and evaluated as conform to the requirement of EN 45545-2, Clause 4.1 essential fire safety objectives.
VII. Conclusion
The fire protection documents and limitation are evaluated based on the standards EN 45545-1:2013 and EN45545-2:2020+A1:2023.
The evaluation of all the presented descriptions, test report and documents show that the construction andmaterial selection of the “High-Performance Fanless System” comply with the requirements HL3 of EN 455451:2013 and EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023.
The evaluation is based on the verified demonstration documents.
VIII. Limitation
As for fire safety of evaluated product, there are no restrictions and conditions. They can be used in all theoperation and construction class in the rail vehicles without restrictions.
If more accessories were used together with the High-Performance Fanless System, such as power source, data
wire etc., should be re-evaluated based on the requirements of EN 45545-2 and installing conditions.
IX. Statements
The assess results relate only to the product in the form in which were assessed.
The purpose of the report is to provide a general overview of the evidence currently available and it should beread in conjunction with the specific reports detailed for each product where additional information is required.
Note: This document cannot be reproduced except full, without prior written approval of the Company.
