FOREWORD
This document is the equivalent of PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN document bearing the reference
D45 1333.
It may not be modified without first notifying the Standardization Department of PSA PEUGEOT
CITROEN.
It is in conformity with the agreement concluded between this Group and RENAULT in February 2013.
It ensures the tests are conducted in conformity with U.S.A. regulation FMVSS 302, ISO
Standard 3795 and Attachment 27.
1. SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
The purpose of this test is to determine the horizontal combustion rate and the type of combustion
liable to occur on materials located inside the passenger compartment.
The test may be performed on the surface material, on a composite incorporating such a surface
material and bonded with an underlying surface, and on underlying materials.
This method allows to perform tests in accordance with NF ISO Standard N°3795, U.S.A regulation
FMVSS 302 or Attachment 27 by following the specifications defined in reference documents.
2. PRINCIPLE
Ignite the end of a test piece held horizontally by means of "U"-shaped jaws. Note the type of
combustion and determine the rate of combustion between two reference marks.
3. APPARATUS
3.1. COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Combustion chamber made of stainless steel, and of internal dimensions

381 mm  356 mm  203 mm (see annex 1).
The front of this chamber has a flame-resistant observation window, which may cover the whole front
and which can be constructed as an access panel.
The bottom of the chamber has 10 holes, 19 mm in diameter, for ventilation; the top of the chamber
has a vent slot, 12.7 mm high, all around.
The chamber is placed on four feet, 10 mm high. The chamber may have a hole at one end for the
introduction of the test piece-holder containing the test piece; in the opposite end, a hole is provided
for the gas line.
Melted material is caught in a pan, which is placed on the bottom of the chamber between vent holes
without covering any vent hole area. An aluminium foil can be added in order to facilitate the cleaning
of the pan after the test. This aluminium foil must be disposed in a way that it fits perfectly with the
geometry of pan without obstructing the vent holes.
Nota: The height of the pan must not exceed 16mm and the thickness of the pan walls must be lower
than 2 mm.
During the test itself, this chamber shall be placed in a room with a temperature of 23 °C  5 °C and
an air velocity Vair  0,3 m.s-1; it may be placed under a laboratory fume hood (3.12.) to evacuate the
combustion fumes.
After each tested sample, be sure that combustion chamber and test sample holder have a
temperature that cannot exceed 30°C before starting the next test.

RENAULT D45 1333 / - - H
3.2. TEST SAMPLE-HOLDER
The test piece consists of two U-shaped metal plates or frames made of corrosion-proof material (see
annex 2).
The lower plate is equipped with pins, the upper plate with corresponding holes in order to ensure
consistent holding of the test piece. The pins also serve as the measuring points at the beginning and
end of the combustion.
The lower part of the specimen shall be located at distance of 178 mm above the bottom of the
combustion chamber.
The distance between the front edge of the test piece-holder and the end of the chamber shall be
22 mm.
3.3. GRID
Optional grid for application of regulation FMVSS 302 or Attachment 27.
The use of the grid is mandatory for the application of international NF ISO Standard 3795.
This grid consists of a test-piece holder (3.2.) and heat-resistant wires, 0.25 mm in diameter, spanning
the test piece-holder at 25 mm intervals (see annex 3).
3.4. OPTIONAL MIRROR
Optional mirror installed at the back of the chamber at an angle of 45° to facilitate measurement of the
test piece. The mirror is positioned such that will not come into contact with any burning or molten
material. Its purpose is to provide optimum visibility of the test piece, whatever the type of material
tested, e.g. in the presence of fumes or runs.
3.5. GAS BURNER
For example, a Bunsen burner with an inside diameter of 9,5 mm + 0,5 . It is located in the combustion
0
chamber so that the centre of its nozzle is 19 mm  1 mm below the centre of the bottom edge of the
open end of the test piece.
3.6. TEST GAS
The gas supplied to the burner shall have a calorific value of about 38 MJ/m 3 (e.g. natural gas).
3.7. CONDITIONED ROOM
For NF ISO 3795: 23 °C  2 °C and 50 %  5 % relative humidity.
For USA regulation FMVSS302: 21 °C and 50 % relative humidity

3.13. FUME CUPBOARD
3.13.1. Characteristics of fume cupboard for application of ISO standard 3795 and
Attachment 27
The combustion chamber may be placed in a laboratory fume cupboard provide the internal volume of
this cupboard is at least 20 times, however a maximum of 110 times greater than the volume of the
combustion chamber and that none of these dimensions (height, width or depth), is not 2,5 times
greater than one of the other dimensions.
Prior to the test, the vertical air velocity inside the laboratory cupboard is measured at 100 mm in front
and behind the location specified for the combustion chamber at level of vent holes (See picture in
Annex 7). It shall be between 0,10 m/s and 0,30 m/s (or any other value imposed by the legislation of
the country), and with fume cupboard glass lowered, such as to ensure the operator is not disturbed
by the fumes of combustion products. The cupboard thus set operates throughout the test. It is
possible to use a naturally ventilated cupboard at an appropriate air velocity.
If these conditions are not observed, the fume cupboard will not be used
3.13.2. Characteristics of fume cupboard for application of regulation FMVSS 302
There are no particular specifications for the use of the cupboard.
However, during the test, there shall be no air currents in the combustion chamber: Vair inside fume
cupboard between 0,1 m/s and 0,3 m/s.
4. TEST SAMPLE PREPARATION
Test the single or composite materials which are fully or partially located less than 13 mm from the
passenger compartment.
Any material, which does not adhere to another material at every point of contact, shall be tested on its
own.
Any material which adheres to an(other) material(s) at every point of contact shall be tested with the
other material(s) as a composite material.
4.1. DIMENSIONS OF TEST SAMPLES
4.1.1. General case
Cut test samples, of dimensions 356 mm x 100 + 20 mm from the material to be tested (see annex 4).
For test samples subjected to ageing (4.7.), age the material and cut the test samples after ageing. In
this way, it is possible to avoid potential shrinkage.

RENAULT D45 1333 / - - H
4.1.2. Particular case
If it is not possible to have dimensions samples 356 mm x 100 +2 , proceed in the following way:
0
For regulation FMVSS 302 or Attachment 27:
If the length is less than 356 mm, use the available length at a width of 102 mm.
If the width is less than 102 mm, use the available width over a length of 356 mm.
Nota: To perform test following Attachment 27, if test sample is with length lower than 293mm or if test
sample is with a width lower than 25mm, then the sample is not tested.
For standard NF ISO 3795:
If the shape and dimensions of a product preclude the sampling of a test piece at a given dimension,
the following minimum dimensions shall be respected:
For test-pieces of width between 3 mm and 60 mm, the length shall be equal to 356 mm. In this case,
the material is tested over the product width.
For test-pieces of width between 60 mm and 102 mm, the length shall be at least 140 mm. In this
case, the possible combustion distance corresponds to the length of the test-piece and the
measurement begins at the first mark.
Test pieces of width less than 60 mm and of length less than 356 mm, and test pieces of width
between 60 mm and 100 + 20 mm, however of length less than 138 mm, and test pieces of width less
than 3 mm, may not be tested according to this test method.
If the width is between 3mm and 60 mm, use the available width with an equal length to 356 mm.
If the width is between 60 mm and 102 mm, use the available width with a length of more than 140
mm. In this case, the possible distance of combustion corresponds to the length of sample, the
measure begins in the first line mark.
Test samples not be tested according to the standard NF ISO 3795:
- if the width is less than 60 mm and length is less 356 mm,
- if the width is included between 60 mm to 102 mm, and length is less 140 mm,
- if width is less 3 mm.
Case when test sample dimensions do not allow appliance of FMVSS 302 or Attachment 27 and
NF ISO N°3795.
If the available length is lower than 356 mm and available width is lower than 102 mm; then perform
the test on a substitute test sample representative in terms of material, process, color, etc, with an
equal length of 356 mm , an equal width of 100 + 20 and a thickness that does not exceed 13 mm at
any point.
4.2. THICKNESS OF TEST SAMPLE
The thickness of the test sample corresponds to that of the simple or composite material, unless this
exceeds 13 mm.
Nota: To carry out the test according to Attachment 27, the total thickness of the specimen is 12 mm
maximum.

4.3. CASE WITH A SAMPLE FAULTY (NOT FLAT)
When a flat test sample cannot be obtained, due to the curvature of the part to be tested, cut the test
piece so that its thickness does not exceed 13 mm at any point.
Example for sample with thickness greater than 13 mm

RENAULT D45 1333 / - - H
Example for sample of weak thickness presenting an important curve:
4.4. HOMOGENEOUS OR ANISOTROPIC MATERIAL
In the case of a homogeneous or isotropic material, take a minimal series of 5 test samples.
In the case of an anisotropic material, take a minimal series of 5 test samples lengthwise and a
minimal series of 5 test samples crosswise.
4.5. MATERIAL WITH NAPPED SURFACE
When the material has a napped surface, place it on a flat surface and comb it twice against the nap
using the comb (3.12.).
4.6. REFERENCE MARK
On each test sample and/or on the metallic support, draw a first reference mark 38 mm from one of
the ends of the test piece and a second reference mark 254 mm from the first mark, if the dimensions
of the test sample allow it.
4.7. AGING
In the general case, condition test pieces in enclosure (3.6.) for at least 24 hours.
In the case of very hygroscopic materials, the duration of the conditioning period is increased to 72
hours.
If specified by the manufacturer, subject to the following ageing cycles:
100 h at 100 °C  2 °C in the air mixing oven (3.10.) for the first series
100 h at 40 °C  2 °C and 95 %  5 % relative humidity in the damp oven (3.11.) for the second series
or any other condition specified by the manufacturer.
Condition as indicated in paragraph 4.8., sample the two series of combustion test pieces, then burn
them according to the procedure in paragraph 5.
4.8. CONDITIONING
In the general case, condition test samples in a room (3.7.) for at least 24 hours.

RENAULT D45 1333 / - - H
In the case of hygroscopic materials, the duration of the conditioning period is increased to at least 72
hours.
5. PROCEDURE
This procedure must be applied to new or aged test pieces, according to the specification of the
manufacturer.
In the case of FMVSS 302 and attachment 27, perform the test without the grid. If the test piece has a
tendency to sag during combustion, repeat the test with the grid and make allowance for this result.
We consider that samples sag when the ignited material pass under the lower plane of the lower
support U (see Annex 6).
Nota: After every tested sample, verify that combustion chamber and test sample holder have a
maximal temperature of 30°C before beginning the next sample.
Nota : To perform the test according to Attachment 27, the test must be performed in a conditioned at
20 ° C  5 ° C and 65%  20% relative humidity room.
5.1. FIRST TIMING
As shown in annex 2, place the test piece in test piece-holder (3.2.) so that both sides and one end
are maintained by the arms of this holder and so that the free end is that with the first reference mark;
the side of the test piece nearest to the passenger compartment shall be turned downwards.
If the two surfaces are both just as close to the passenger compartment, both surfaces shall be tested.
Place all items at the centre of the combustion chamber (3.1.). Check that the test piece is effectively
horizontal.
Set the nozzle of the Bunsen burner (3.4.) such that the height of the flame is equal to 38 mm. The air
inlet of the burner is closed. The flame shall have burnt for at least 1 min at the end of stabilization,
before commencing the tests.
Start the stopwatch (3.7.) once the test piece comes into contact with the flame, cut the gas after 15
seconds.
NOTE: Be careful with the time elapsed between the moment the gas is cut and the moment the flame
extinguishes.
5.2. SECOND TIMING
Start the second stopwatch when the edge of the flame reaches the first marker separated by a
distance of 38 mm from the free end. Observe the propagation of the flame edge on the surface
burning at a faster rate (upper or lower surface). Note necessary time t (in seconds) for the flame edge
to reach the second marker separated by a distance of 254 mm from the first.
Note any particulars of the combustion, such as surface "flash", slow combustion, combustion with
fumes, formation of drops (with or without flames), different rates of combustion in the various material
layers, strata separation, etc.
5.3. NATURAL EXTINGUISHMENT BEFORE THE SECOND LINE MARK.
If we have a natural extinguishment before the second line mark, determine:
- the time t’ of this combustion
- the length L burn sample, in millimetre, with rule (3.9.), i.e. the longest distance covered by the
flame front from the first reference mark.
Note also all the peculiarities of the combustion

RENAULT D45 1333 / - - H
5.4. NATURAL EXTINGUISHMENT BEFORE THE FIRST LINE MARK
If natural extinction occurs before the first reference mark, note this.
5.5. CASE OF SPLIT MATERIAL
If the material is split to prepare the test sample, ignore the flame front which would propagate itself on
the side created by the cutting
6. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS
6.1. TYPE OF COMBUSTION
- Non combustible
Type A:
The material would not burn or goes out as soon as the front of the flame is not any more in
contact with the Bunsen burner.
- Self-extinguishing
Type B:
The material burns and combustion stops before the flame reaches the first reference mark.
Type C:
The material burns and stops burning less than 60 seconds after the second stop-watch has
started and has not burnt over more than 50 mm after the first reference mark.
Type D:
The material burns and the flame goes out between the two reference marks, except for the
preceding case.
- Combustible
Type E:
The combustion continues to the second reference mark.
Type F: (for Chinese homologation case)
If the specimen burns and the flame reaches the first line 15s after the specimen ignited, the
burning rate is considered no meeting the requirements, and the results shall be recorded as F.
6.2. RATE OF COMBUSTION
As indicated below, calculate the combustion rates for types D and E and select the most
unfavourable result obtained with all test samples.
Nota: If you obtain a decimal value, the result is given to the upper unit
- If the combustion has reached the second marker, type E, the combustion rate V, expressed in
millimetres per minute (mm/min), for each test piece, is obtained using the following formula:

RENAULT D45 1333 / - - H
in which: t = combustion duration, in seconds, to burn 254 mm (distance between markers).
60
V  254 .
t
- If combustion stops before the second mark (type D), or if the size of test sample allows no lead
to draw the second mark at 254 mm of the first mark, combustion rate V', expressed in millimetres
per minute (mm/min), is obtained using the following formula:
60
V'  L .
t'
in which: L = burnt length in millimetres,
t' = combustion duration of length L, in seconds.

5 samples at least must be made by type of materials.
When the test sample burns no lead or when the combustion stops before the front flame arrives at the first
mark, indicate:
a hyphen "-" in the column "Measured Values";
"0" in the column "Burn Rate".
This test corresponding to the types of combustion A or B.
When the test sample stops burning before 60 seconds pass by and before the length of the burned part is
lower than 50 millimeters, indicate:
a hyphen "-" in the column "Measured Values";
a hyphen "-" in the column "Burn Rate".
This test corresponding to the type of combustion C.
When the material burns and when the flame goes out between two lines marks, on a length superior to 50
mm, or when the combustion continues up to the second line mark, indicate:
the values obtained in the column "Measured Values";
the values obtained in the column "Burn Rate".
This test corresponding to the types of combustion D or E.
The column "Maximum value of burn rate" corresponding in the maximal value of speed of combustion
obtained during 5 test samples (column " Burn Rate "); it is on no account about the average of 5 test
samples.
If all the speeds of combustion corresponds to one "0", register in the column "Maximum value of burn rate",
"Non combustible".
If all the speeds of combustion corresponds to one "-" or one "0" + "-" register in the column " Maximum
value of burn rate": "Self-extinguishing property".
TRIAS 20-J027-01 must be signed by the tester with an ink of blue color.
