Abstract:This report describes results of a research program that is a follow-up project to previous work documented in NHTSA’s, “Potential Alternative Methodology for Evaluating Flammability of Interior Automotive Materials” to improve the repeatability and reproducibility of evaluating the flammability of interior materials that are difficult to test per Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302. The project objectives are: (1) evaluate and improve on the microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC) test method and associated performance criteria for assessing flammability of materials, (2) evaluate repeatability of material flammability assessment of different materials (including layered materials) using the improved MCC test method and associated performance criteria, (3) compare the assessment of materials using the improved MCC test method to using the ASTM International E2102 apparatus, and (4) develop performance criteria for use with the improved MCC test method for interior materials in motorcoaches and other large buses for different evacuation times.
