Components fitted to railway rolling stock systems are exposed to shock and vibration during operation. In addition to this, harsh environmental conditions, such as variations in temperature, ice, rain, and wind, should not affect the system's functionality. Moreover, and most importantly, the materials used in the rolling stock should not harm passengers due to malfunction of safety systems or poisonous gases in the case of a fire.
Bimed cable glands and components fulfill international railway standards, e.g., EN 45 545, and are manufactured according to EN 62 444.
