Fire Testing to Aircraft Material-Standards

In an aircraft/aeronautical material fire test, the object shall be able to meet the required stability/integrity/thermal insulation and other properties within a set time.

In order to ensure the safety of the aircraft during use, it is usually required that the interior materials be flame retardant. In other words, the aircraft interior material either has the characteristics of not burning. If a portion of the interior material is combustible, specific flame retardancy requirements must be met.

1.Fire resistance to Aircraft Material:

Ability of an item to fulfill for a stated period of time the required stability and/or integrity and/or thermal insulation and/or other expected duty specified in a standard fire resistance test.

2.Reaction to fire for Airplane:

As, by definition, a place of relative safety cannot be guaranteed to be maintained in a safe condition indefinitely should a fire develop, it is essential that the materials used in the construction and furnishing of vehicles are such that they are not easily ignited and have low total emission of heat, smoke and toxic fume when exposed to an ignition source.

3.Fire Test to Demonstrated that

Acceptable control of the risk of ignition has been achieved

Acceptable control of the rate of and total emission of heat, smoke and toxic fume has been achieved for all major usage materials and surfaces when exposed to a source of ignition.

Acceptable resistance to fire has been achieved for all materials and items required to perform as a barrier to fire or which are required to perform some function when exposed to fire.
