Hello Harry,

we looked at DIN 75200 and all reglementaions concerning burn rates we could find but up to now we found no hint for the frequence we have to test.

Sincerely Yours

Neither does ISO 3795. Looks like it's a customer requirement thing as others mentioned in previous posts.

Burner,

I have been looking at all of our flammability requirements and have found nothing regarding frequency requirements, except for the yearly test report we must submit.

Material burning
- slower than 38 mm burn rate has to be burned every 12 month,
- from 38 to 64 mm burn rate has to be burned every 6 month,
- from 64 to 89 mm burn rate has to be burned every 4 month and
- from 89 to 100 mm burn rate has to be burned every month.
Is this your current test criteria? Personally, I would combine the first two and change it to 0-50mm every 12 months. The third one would be 50-75mm every 6 months. And I would try to avoid the fourth one completely. When you get close to the maximum burn rate allowed there is no margin for error.

Hopefully, none of your samples go into that area.

What company are you supplying parts to, if I may ask?

Hello Ken K,

These test criteria come out of a copy (hand out) of a Ford Document "Qualitäts Kontroll Erfordernisse" [that means Quality Control Requirements (issue October 1983)] but up to now, we are locking for original reglementaions as we can not find hints on the frequency anywhere.

Is the yearly test report you must submit written in a reglementation, is it on the drawings of your part or were you told to do so by your customer?

If it is inside a reglementaion please tell the name.

Sincerely Yours
Burner

Hello, I'm having trouble finding a testing site for flammability for Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan and Chrysler near El Paso TX? Our current location that we send for testing is in MI. It would really help. Thanks :frust:

Harry,

May I ask where you are coming up with these burn rates.

Here is a copy of FMVSS302 and I don't find what you are saying.

May I ask where you are getting these requirements.

Harry, I make bus seats all day long and the procedure i just attached is my bible for FMVSS302
