FMVSS (Burning tests)

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are U.S. vehicle safety standards that define safety-related requirements for vehicles, materials and components. For flexible polymeric materials, particular emphasis is placed on the flammability behaviour of materials used in vehicle interiors.

FILK performs testing according to FMVSS specifications for material development, product approval and quality assurance within the automotive industry. These tests are used to evaluate the flammability characteristics of non-metallic materials such as plastics, elastomers, films, foams, textiles, coated textiles, leather and bonded leather materials. The results support compliance with regulatory requirements for the use of materials and components in vehicle interior applications.

The FMVSS tests available at FILK are listed below.
