Because aircraft carry a large number of passengers, the fire risk is high and escape is difficult, so the required flame retardant performance level is also very strict.
Aircraft material flame retardant test, fire test to prove
Achieve acceptable control of fire hazard
Achieve acceptable control of the total levels of heat, smoke and toxic gases when all major material surfaces are exposed to a fire source
All materials or items required to be used as fireproof panels, and materials and items required to function when exposed to fire sources, should achieve acceptable fire resistanceü a>
Aircraft fireproof materials
Rubber products (sealing rings)
Plastic products
Fire prevention agent
Fire prevention water
Electric line
Fire-retardant fabrics (curtains, seat covers, carpets, etc.)
