“For LED displays to become a mainstay in the transportation industry, it’s critical that the technology meets relevant safety and reliability standards,” Cope said in the NanoLumens LED announcement.
“I am very proud to announce that NanoLumens LED has taken the lead in this regard and is, in fact, the first LED display manufacturer to pass the rigorous European Rail safety standards. We continue to work with third-party firms to meet other standards for safety and reliability and we expect to make additional announcements shortly.”
Advertisers and transportation hubs can now bring full-color advertisements, marketing and safety information to passersby, travelers and visitors, says Cope.
“The brilliantly engaging qualities of direct view LED displays is now a practical reality for every transportation center everywhere,” he said in the NanoLumens press release.
Regarding fire hazard performance for transportation environments, NanoLumens meets the following European Rail safety standards: EN45545-2 (ISO 5660-1) for Heat Release Rate, EN45545-2 (ISO 5659-2) for Smoke Density, EN45545-2 (ISO 5658-2) for Flame Spread, and EN45545 Annex C for Toxicity.
