As more plastic materials are used in combination with electronic components in car interiors, possible flammability represents an enormous risk. Thus, manufacturers of components, parts and materials, e.g. made of textiles, fibres, nonwovens, plastics, rubber, wood, foam, but also cables, wires as well as electrical and electronic devices must ensure that their products meet the relevant flammability requirements.
The requirement is that in the event of ignition, the passenger can still leave the vehicle or, in the case of smaller primary ignition sources, the spread of fire is delayed. Since e-mobility will be the preferred option for individual transport in the future, the requirements for the non-combustibility of the materials used in the complete vehicle will increase significantly once again.
Our laboratories, which are accredited according to DIN EN ISO 17025 and certified by OEMs, carry out burning and flammability tests as pure tests for conformity confirmation or also to understand the behaviour of materials and the achievement of fire safety of material developments, see Fig. 1. As a result, test reports or expert opinions are obtained that characterise the burning behaviour (burning speed), the flammability or the effects of burning drops.
The iLF Magdeburg has an excellent portfolio of burning and flammability tests within the framework of international standards and specifications, see Table.
