This quality assurance specification establishes the quality standard for a low fire
hazard (LFH), heat-shrinkable identification sleeving for use in applications where
low fire hazard characteristics are critical. These special requirements are detailed
in Table 7.
HX Low Fire Hazard sleeving meets Rail Standard EN45545-2 requirement set R22/R23
Hazard rating 3. This requirement set and hazard rating allows unlimited use of this
product with any rail car design and operating category in Europe.
The operating temperature for this product is -55° to + 105°
C
C.
This system is an automatic method of identifying items by printing a mark onto a sleeve.
The mark is permanent upon printing. This system is not recommended where strain relief
properties are required.
The marker shall be fabricated from cross linked polyolefin tubing, flattened and then
mounted on a carrier as HX-SCE, HX or supplied as flattened spooled continuous tube as
HXCT.
The marker system comprises specific printers and ribbons. Compliance to this
specification can only be guaranteed if TE Connectivity approved printers and ribbons are
used. This information can be found in TE document 411-121005 ‘Printer Product Ribbon
Matrix Document’.
Unless specified, the tube size for qualification testing is 6.4mm.
Approved Signatories:
This document is electronically reviewed and approved by TE Connectivity.

SCOPE
The tests in this specification, as made on HX products, define the nature of a low fire hazard product
for cable identification. Test procedures have been selected based on the ability of that test to provide
key flammability data which can be used by an engineer to give a valid fire risk assessment of an
installation based on actual use.
This qualification standard will establish whether fit form and function of the finished product meets
product design expectations.
The flammability performance criteria has been modelled to reflect the current requirements of the
global rail market. The key performance indicators of flamability, smoke and toxicity have been
selected based on there ability to highlight any changes in performance.

2.1
REQUIREMENTS
Composition, appearance and color
The sleeving shall be fabricated from low fire hazard (LFH), irradiated, thermally stabilized modified
polyolefin compound. It shall be homogeneous and essentially free from flaws, defects, pinholes,
bubbles, seams, cracks or inclusions.
The markers shall be White or Yellow unless otherwise specified.
Dimensions
The product shall be supplied in one of the following formats:
• HX-SCE - as shown in figure 1 and to the dimensions of table 1.
• HXCT - continuous tubing to the dimensions of table 2
• HX - as shown in figure 2 and figure 3 and to the dimensions of table 3
