Airbus Standard: ABD 0031 – Aircraft Material Flame Retardant Test, Fire Test-Part 1

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.)
