Product Description
When it comes to vehicle safety, fire resistance is a critical factor. The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 302 is the go-to regulation for testing the flammability of materials used in vehicles. Here’s what you need to know:
What is FMVSS 302?
FMVSS 302 is a U.S. safety standard that measures the burn rate of materials used in vehicle interiors, such as seat covers, carpets, headliners, and dashboard components. The goal? To ensure these materials resist ignition and slow the spread of fire, protecting passengers in case of an accident.
How Does the Test Work?
1. A sample of the material is exposed to a controlled flame for 15 seconds.
2. The burn rate is measured in millimeters per minute.
3. To pass, the material must have a burn rate of less than 102 mm/min.
Why is FMVSS 302 Important?
Passenger Safety: Slows fire spread, giving occupants more time to escape.
Compliance: Mandatory for all vehicles sold in the U.S.
Quality Assurance: Ensures materials meet high safety standards.
