(2) If a flat test piece cannot be cut out because of the shape of the part, cut from any area that is not more
than 12.7 mm thick at any point.
(3) If length or width of a test piece is less than the specified dimensions, use the maximum available width
or length. However, for judgment of self-extinguishing, dimension of 80 mm or more shall be required at
least.
(4) If the surface material consists of more than two types of material ( 1) and is completely bonded or fused,
the material will be treated as a composite material and be used as is.
(5) If the surface material consists of more than two types of material ( 1) and neither are completely bonded
nor fused, the test pieces shall be cut out individually and shall be not more than 12.7 mm thick.
(6) A material measuring more than 12.7 mm thick shall be cut out to 12.7 mm thickness from the exposed
car interior surface for use as a test piece.

5. TEST ATMOSPHERE
(1) Temperature 20 5°C, relative humidity 55 5%.
(2) Prior to starting the test, test room ventilation must be stopped and keep the room in a draftless
condition.
(3) To maintain a draftless condition surrounding the test cabinet, the cabinet is placed inside a draft
chamber.
When ventilating to avoid an inhalation of combustion gas, condition is the below.
- Vertical velocity of the air through a draft chamber shall be measured 100 mm in front of and behind
the final position where the combustion chamber will be located.
- Air velocity is between 0.1m/s to 0.3m/s.
(4) The upper damper of draft chamber is opened for natural ventilation.
(5) Subsequent to test completion, ventilation is immediately started and the test room is restored to the
condition in Item (1).

Flame top
Figure 6
(2) Open the door with attached burner and ignite the Bunsen burner. Adjust the flame top height to touch the flame height
gauge (38.1 mm). Confirm that there is no flickering of flame.
(3) Carefully close door with attached burner and ensure there is no flame flicker. Confirm that the flame persists for 15
seconds after the door is closed.
8. REGULAR TEST
(1) The conditioned test piece, with the surface that is exposed to the automobile's interior facing down, is secured between
the two test piece clamps with open side ends aligned and mounted on the test piece support stand. It is then placed on
the support stand inside the test cabinet. Confirm the test piece positioned is as described in Item 7.1(1).
1) In cases where a test piece cannot maintain a horizontal position while burning, or when it is small, fuzzy or gridded, the
following procedures are recommended.
(a) For a test piece that is softened or deformed by heat, causing non-horizontal position, attach fine heat-resistant wires
at 25.4 mm intervals across the width of the test piece clamp. This will support the test piece and maintain a horizontal
burning position.
For the following materials, the samples sag due to heat. Therefore, the horizontal burn rate cannot be measured. Be
sure to use a wired clamp for the test.

Material Example of application
Rubber Various insulator, etc.
Urethane Seat, sun visor, etc.
Fabric (single or composite) Seat, sun visor, etc.
PVC covering Seat, sun visor, etc.
Carpet Floor carpet, luggage carpet, etc.
Felt (single) Roof insulator, etc.
(b) A test piece that cannot be held with the test piece clamp shall be supported by the clamp with wires described in Item
1).
(c) For a test piece with fuzzy surface, fluff twice with a comb having rounded tip teeth spaced 7 or 8 teeth per 25.4 mm.
(d) For a test piece with gridded shape like speaker grill which is made of uniform material, if the grid is less than 293 mm,
carry out the flammbility test from the end of the test piece (non-gridded part). If the grid is 294 mm or more, carry out
the flammbility test only at the gridded part.
2) If it is anticipated that flammability will differ with the operating procedures, such as clamping of the test piece and flame
approach speed, preliminary tests shall be conducted. Conditions where burning occurs most easily shall be selected for
the test.
(2) Ignite the Bunsen burner and close the door with burner carefully so that flame will not flicker. Apply flame to the piece for
15 seconds and then extinguish the Bunsen burner.
(3) When the test piece starts to burn and as soon as the flame reaches the marked first measuring point, start time
measurement with a stopwatch. End the measurement as soon as the flame passes the marked the last measuring point.
If the flame extinguishes before reaching the marked the last measuring point, measure the distance and time from the
marked first measuring point to the leading burned edge. Definition of burning and the position of measurement are shown
in Reference Figure 1. Also, when the burning speed differs between the top and the bottom surfaces, the higher burning
speed shall be taken by visual observation.
If the flame edge is not visible due to smoking, place strings at the upper and lower surfaces of the test piece as shown in
Reference Figure 2. Passing of flame is determined when one string is cut earlier than the other. Strings shall be cotton
string #50 (JIS L 2101 Cotton sewing thread) or equivalent.
(4) If burning does not reach marked line B after 5 minutes, the test can be completed by measuring duration and distance at
that point.

<NHTSA reply>
Applicability depends on "whether it is designed to absorb energy when coming into contact with occupants in a
collision." Application is not necessary for parts not designed in such a manner. Whether a part is "designed to
absorb energy when coming in contact with occupants" depends solely on the manufacturer's judgment.
