PANDUCT® Type TMC Wiring Duct
Global Passenger Rail Standards Compliance
Panduit PANDUCT Type TMC Wiring Duct is made from a low smoke,
low toxicity material that is compliant with U.S. and many European fire
safety standards for passenger rail rolling stock.
Each section below identifies the applicable Country/Region standards
and includes a summary of data gathered from independent lab tests
conducted on the TMC Wiring Duct. The independent lab test reports
are available upon request (see end of document).
