Introduction
This document has been developed with the aim to take over the content of EN 45545-2:2013+A1:2015,
Annex C.
NOTE It is also based on the results of the European project TRANSFEU - Transport Fire Safety Engineering in

1 Scope
This document describes the measurement of the toxicity potential of the products of combustion based
on two test methods:
— Method 1: EN ISO 5659-2 Smoke chamber area-based test with Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) gas analysis techniques;
— Method 2: NF X70-100-2 Tubular furnace small mass-based test.
NOTE 1 This document also specifies test equipment and set out the calculation procedures for evaluation of
toxicity data.
