This European Standard specifies a multi­test procedure for the determination of the flammability char-acteristics of non­metallic materials under a set of closely controlled conditions. The test procedure cov-ers both individual materials and materials used in configuration. This standard describes a series of tests to provide data for aid in the evaluation of the suitability of materials for use in a space vehicle crew compartment. The data obtained are in respect to the ease of ignition and the flame propagation char-acteristics of materials.
