SAFETY STANDARDS

MEETING YOUR REQUIREMENTS

TDG is fully conversant with North American, European, Japanese and other global emergency rail safety standards. We have been invited to sit on various APTA safety committees for over 3 decades. Our fixtures as a system meet or exceed the APTA, FRA, EN, AAR, and JIS normal and emergency lighting standards for illumination, durability, and performance where applicable. We also meet or exceed most global flame, smoke and toxicity standards (NFPA 130:2010, DIN, ETC)

THESE ARE THE PASSENGER RAIL AND LOCOMOTIVE STANDARDS CONTINUALLY ADDRESSED IN OUR LIGHTING SOLUTIONS.

These are the Passenger Rail and Locomotive Standards continually addressed in our Lighting Solutions
