FMVSS 302 Analysis of Commonly Used Standards for American Flame Retardant Testing
FMVSS 302 - Combustion Test of Automotive Interior Materials Automobiles are the main means of transportation at present. Due to the large number of passengers, the high risk of fire and the long escape time, the requirements for the flame retardant performance and fire performance of automotive interiors are also relatively high. FMVSS 302 Flammability of materials used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles FMVSS 302 Flammability of materials used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles Testing - Standard Analysis FMVSS 302 specifies the fire performance requirements for vehicle interior materials with the aim of reducing fatalities and injuries due to vehicle fires, especially vehicle interior material fires caused by ignition sources such as matches and cigarettes. FMVSS 302 is suitable for passenger cars, utility vehicles, trucks and buses. FMVSS 302 Flame Retardant Test of Automotive Interior Materials, Fire Test - Test Method FMVSS 302 Sample Requirements: Specimen Size and Quantity: 102mm×356mm×Thickness (the actual thickness of the sample used in the automobile, but not less than 13mm, if it is greater than 13mm, it should be cut into 13mm.) At least 5 samples, if there are different burning speeds in different directions, they should be in different At least 5 samples in each direction shall be sampled in each direction. If the size of the material does not meet the test requirements, make a sample that meets the test requirements. FMVSS 302 test requirements: 1. The sample does not burn, or the horizontal burning speed of the flame on the sample does not exceed 102mm/min (Note: When the sample surface is cut, this judgment requirement does not apply to testing the horizontal flame burning on the surface. 2. From the time of the test, if the burning time of the sample is less than 60 seconds, it will stop burning, and the damaged length of the sample does not exceed 51mm from the position of the time, it is considered to meet the requirements of FMVSS302. Require. (Note: The starting position of the timekeeping is 38mm away from the ignition end. When the fire reaches this position, the timekeeping will start) The flame retardant performance and fire performance of automotive interior materials– Test Standard: SAE J369 Flame Retardant Test of Polymer Interior Materials TL1010 Combustion Properties of Automotive Interior Materials ISO 3795 Agricultural and Forestry Road Vehicles, Tractors and Implements.
