European Standard ECE R118 is a regulatory fire rating specifically for transport vehicles including buses. The standard ECE R118 deals with the fire behaviour of materials and components with different test procedures depending on the application and component placement both internally and externally. This standard has three appendix test levels 6, 7, 8 which measures flame spread vertically, horizontally, and measures smoke and melting behaviours required in the event of fire outbreak.
USA UL94 Flame Classification as related to plastic materials, there are 6 Flame classifications specified under UL94 that are assigned to materials based on the results of scaled flame tests. These classifications descending from most fire resistant 5VA, 5VB , V0, V1, V2, HB order are used to distinguish a materials characteristics after test specimens have been exposed to a specified test flame under controlled laboratory conditions.

Halogen Free fire retardant plastics are becoming a regulatory standard in many applications especially within railway and bus tunnel systems. Halogen Free means low in harmful toxins found in tradition PVC based plastics, namely chlorine, bromine and iodine. Typical Halogen Free FR materials come in PC, PP, and PC-ABS type plastics. Plastics being Halogen Free is regarded safer for both individuals and the environment. Materials are identified above with the Halogen Free cymbal.

European Standard EN 45545 is to define a harmonized procedure for fire protection on railway vehicles across multiple countries. The standard EN 45545-2 deals with the requirements for fire behaviour of materials and components with different test procedures depending on the application and the type of train. In order to judge if a material is compliant with EN 45545-2, it is necessary to know the application requirement (varying from R1 to R26) and the hazard level which it attributed to the train (varying from HL1 to HL3).
