New side glazing for high-speed train driver cabins has been certified and confirmed compliance with railway transport safety requirements. The double-glazed windows were developed by ONPP "Tekhnologiya" named after A. G. Romashin, part of Rostec.
The certificate was issued by the Certification Register for Federal Railway Transport after product testing. The inspection confirmed the possibility of using the glazing on locomotives with operating speeds up to 400 km/h.
The structure is made of heat-strengthened silicate glass assembled into a double-glazed unit. An energy-saving coating is applied to the surface, which reduces heat transfer and improves sound insulation of the driver's cabin. This increases the comfort of the crew when driving at high speed.
Tests confirmed the strength and safety of the product, as well as compliance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union "On the safety of high-speed railway transport".
The new development is intended for use in high-speed railway transport projects, where the requirements for strength, thermal insulation and acoustic comfort are significantly higher than for conventional rolling stock.
