Transit Certifications

Contra Vision Products Certified for use on Trains, Trams, Buses and Cars.

Train and Tram Certification (UK & EU)

Contra Vision has attained EN45545-2 R1 & R7 certification for our perforated window film. This positions our products as compliant with the highest Hazard Level, HL3, making them suitable for application in various rolling stock projects, including trains, trams and the underground.

EN45545-2 serves as the European standard certification for fire safety in rail transportation. The certification covers Hazard Levels HL1, HL2, and HL3, with HL3 being the most stringent requirement. Contra Vision’s successful certification across all hazard levels signifies a new era in window perf branding, design and advertising applications for rolling stock.

Our certified products include Contra Vision® Performance™ White on Black paired with our CL50CY cast overlaminating film. It is crucial to note that this specific combination ensures compliance, and the perforated window film alone cannot guarantee adherence to the standards.
