ORAFOL Railway Graphic Films Gain DIN EN 45545-2 Classification

28 August 2026: ORAFOL‘s railway graphic film systems has received DIN EN 45545-2 classification for interior and exterior rail-vehicle applications in Europe. The result matters because it gives specifiers a tested group of wrapping, cut-graphic and printed-film constructions for projects that include fire-performance requirements.

Which ORAFOL railway graphic films are covered ?

ORAFOL listed the following products and systems in its announcement:

• ORACAL® 970 RA and ORACAL® 970 RA+ Premium Wrapping Cast for full vehicle wraps.
• ORACAL® 951 Premium Cast for plotter-cut lettering and graphics.
• ORACAL® 770 RA for special applications.
• ORAJET® 3951 HT RA+ Premium Digital Printing Cast used with either ORAGUARD® 290 or ORAGUARD® 373 laminate.

The final item is a film-and-laminate construction. The supplied release does not support treating ORAJET 3951 HT RA+ alone, or a combination with another laminate, as covered by the same classification.

What does the DIN EN 45545-2 classification establish ?

According to ORAFOL, the classification confirms that the selected products meet the relevant fire-performance criteria for the stated railway uses. The company positions the result as documentation for rail projects in which a material’s fire behaviour forms part of the technical approval process.

Why does this matter for rail graphics projects ?

A defined classified portfolio can reduce uncertainty when designers, converters and rolling-stock suppliers choose materials for wraps, identification graphics or digitally printed decoration. It may also cut repeat documentation work when the tested construction matches the planned application.

ORAFOL said the portfolio can support approval and certification work for international rail projects. The supplied announcement, however, did not include test-report numbers, classification levels, substrates or certificates. Customers should request those documents before specifying a product or promising compliance.

FAQs …

Is every ORAFOL graphic film covered ?
No. ORAFOL’s announcement identifies selected products and, in one case, a specified film-and-laminate system.

Does the classification replace project approval ?
No. It provides product-level evidence for a defined construction. The railway operator, vehicle builder, certification body or tender documents may impose further conditions.
