Flammability \/ Burning Behavior testing involves assessing the burning behavior of materials in vehicle interiors. The test ensures that interior materials do not exceed a defined flame spread rate in the event of a fire. <\/p>\n
A test strip (typically 356 \u00d7 100 mm) is clamped horizontally in a combustion chamber and exposed to a Bunsen burner flame for 15 seconds at one end.<\/p>\n
Evaluation:<\/strong> Limit value (FMVSS 302): max. 100 mm\/min. Many OEMs require stricter values or self-extinguishing. <\/p>\n The following table shows all OEM-specific standards for flammability \/ burning behavior covered by the ASO Laboratory:<\/p>\n An internationally recognized horizontal burn test: A material strip is ignited at one end, and the flame spread rate is measured. The limit value is 100 mm\/min. This test is legally required for all interior materials. <\/p>\n FMVSS 302 is a US regulation but is accepted worldwide as a de facto standard for automotive interiors. The European equivalent is ISO 3795 \/ ECE R118. Many OEMs additionally require their own, stricter tests. <\/p>\n The material may not be installed in the vehicle interior. Non-conformity leads to a material block and can trigger recall campaigns for already installed parts. <\/p>\n The ASO Laboratory conducts flammability \/ burning behavior testing according to all common OEM standards. Our DAkkS accreditation according to DIN EN ISO\/IEC 17025 guarantees standard-compliant results. <\/p>\n Contact us<\/strong> for a quote \u2013 we will advise you on optimal sample planning and test scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is Flammability \/ Burning Behavior?
