FLAMMABILITY TESTING
Flammability testing in the automotive sector is a critical part of vehicle development. The objective is clear: ensure that vehicles offer maximum safety in fire-related incidents, minimizing risk to human life and preventing environmental damage. Vehicle fires can originate from collisions, electrical malfunctions, defective batteries (notably in EV applications), or improper fuel handling. Both combustion and electric vehicles must comply with stringent fire safety and material burn standards.
As a laboratory accredited according to DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025, we validate regulatory compliance, assess material performance, and determine the true thermal behavior of plastics. We provide a comprehensive range of flammability tests on both finished components and raw material samples — simply send us your test material.
We conduct the following flammability tests in our plastics laboratory:
- DIN 75200
- FMVSS 302
- ISO 3795
- VW TL 1010
- VW TL 1011
- VW 96242
- PTL 8501
- DBL 5307
- BMW GS 97038
- Volvo VCS 5031,19
- Jaguar LRLTM.30.MS.30
- KMVSS Article 95
- CMVSS 302
