Flammability Test Apparatus, Burning Tests
Flammability Tests: Comprehensive Fire Safety Assessment Tools
Automotive interior combustion testing instruments are widely used in the automotive industry. Major car manufacturers and interior suppliers use these instruments to test and evaluate the fire resistance of their products.
By using these instruments, the combustion characteristics of materials can be better understood, ensuring optimal safety in the event of a fire.
Testing Standards and Requirements

Compliance Standards:
1. Chinese Standard GB8410-2006 (Combustion Characteristics of Automotive Interior Materials)
2. International Standard ISO 3795 (Road Vehicles—Determination of Burning Behaviour of Interior Materials)
3. EU Standard 95/28/EC Annex IV (Test for Horizontal Burning Rate of Materials Used in the Interior Construction of Certain Categories of Motor Vehicles)
4. U.S. Standard SAE J 369 a
5. U.S. Standard FMVSS 571.302
6. Japanese Standard JIS D1201
7. German Standard DIN 75200
8. Volkswagen Standard TL-VW 1010
9. French Standard NF R18-501
10. Korean Standard MS 300-08
11. Mercedes-Benz Standard DBL 5310
12. BMW Standard GS97038
The purpose of this test is to determine the combustion characteristics of materials when exposed to flame, and to measure parameters such as burning rate, flame spread path, and smoke production. These parameters help assess the fire resistance of materials, enabling the design of safer automotive interiors.
