The methods for smoke emission measurements according to Polish Standards (obligatory for railway stock) were reviewed. In particular, the standard data on illumination and exposure were done to characterize the smoke properties of high-impact polystyrene as flame-retarded with various amounts (up to 50 wt. %) of the halogen-free Mg(OH)2 flame retardant. The filling of polystyrene with magnesium oxide (40 % by weight to 50 % by weight) resulted in a substantial decrease of smoke generation. The product can be used to produce nearly all elements of rolling stock equipment. A change in smoke color from black to gray or white after the Mg(OH)2 addition was also observed.
