The Analysis and Assessment of Test Method for Flammability of an Automotive Headlining Fabric

Abstract:

The flammability is one of the most important features about safety for automotive interior material. This paper summarized the testing standards for flammability performed testing on a type of interior textile material made by one of domestic manufacturers, in accordance with the Chart 571.302 Standard No. 302 of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of U.S. The complete introduction of national mandatory standard of China in flammability of interior material was introduced and domestic test standards of flammability with those of foreign countries all over world were compared. Finally, this paper proposed possible and would-be necessary parameters based on comprehensiveness of this kind of test due to safer requirement in future.
