Fire resistance, flammability, flame, fire, smoke testing

The consequences of a fire are never completely neutral. Flammability tests, temperature-rise testing and associated tests are required by many countries when marketing new products.

For products intended for the general public or professionals, fire resistance tests must be carried out when documentation of flammability classes is not available.

The requirements are all the more stringent when the fire risk concerns the transport sector, and aviation in particular.

Our new subsidiary LEFAE within the Emitech Group in 2017 allows us to expand our fire and flammability services in terms of standards, recognitions and technical capacity.

Our services are recognized by the aeronautical authorities to ensure that aircraft operating conditions (flight or ground) are observed. Find the details of our recognitions on our dedicated website: www.lab-lefae.com

Aeronautical Fires
Automotive and industrial fire testing

Aircraft fire resistance testing
- Fire tests - Fire resistant and Fire proof tests - Powerplant test - Fire penetration - Flamability tests

LEFAE's mission is to promote and develop all scientific research and development activities for industries working in the aeronautical field and suppliers concerned by safety approaches.

Fire testing is carried out on all types of equipment installed on aircraft (example: fluid system components, cables and electrical connectors, structural components, etc.) in accordance with standards:

ISO 2685
AC 20 135, AS1055,
AIRBUS SP0705382
ROLLS ROYCE JES 314-1 or RRES 900023
BSI 3G100 Part 2
FAR 25 Part F, 25.853, 25.859
RTCA DO 160, ED 14
CS-E, CS 23, CS 25, CS 29
EN 2591-318, EN 2591-326, EN 3475-417, EN 3475-418

We are able to implement all the resources necessary to ensure the operational conditions of the aircraft (flight or ground) required by the authorities. Examples: ventilation up to 1.5 Mac, flow rate, pressure, vibration, electrical isolation...

Materials can be tested according to your requirements with gas burners and liquid fuel burners (CARLIN burners, NEXGEN burners, BSI burners).

Aeronautical Fire Testing - Interior Cargo Cabins and Compartments

These tests verify the self-extinguishing and flame-retardant properties of components, cables, equipment and structures.

We carry out vertical, horizontal, 45° and 60° flammability testing according to the requirements specified in the standards:

FAR 25 (Part F, 25.869, 25.853, 25.855)
CS 23, CS 25 and CS 29.
AIRBUS METHODS ABD0031, AITM 2.0002, AITM 2.0003, AITM 2.0004, AITM 2.0005
BOEING METHODS BSS7230
NF EN 3844-1, NF EN 3844-2, NF EN 3844-3

Measurement of the opacity and toxicity of fumes emitted during combustion

Smoke opacity and halogen content of components or systems installed in the interior of means of transport (aircraft, trains) or buildings such as interior panels, roofs, partitions, curtains, seats, carpets or carpets, elastomers, sanitary facilities are critical factors in ensuring the safety of users, passengers and crews.

To allow for their installation, these materials must meet the specified requirements.

We perform testing according to standards:

FAR25 Part 25 appendix F, FAR 25.853
AIRBUS METHODS ABD 0031, AITM 2.0007, AITM 2.0008, AITM 3.0005
BOEING METHODS BSS7238, BSS7239
NF EN 2824, NF EN 2825, NF EN 2826

Seat Cushion test – Combustion level of seats installed in aircraft

We perform testing according to standards:

FAR25 Part 25 appendix F, FAR 25.853
AIRBUS METHODS ABD 0031, AITM 2.0009

Flame propagation for Thermal and acoustic insulation

We perform testing according to standards:

FAR25 Part 25 appendix F, FAR 25.856
AIRBUS METHODS AITM 2.0053

Flame penetration cargo liner – Fire resistance

We perform testing according to standards:

FAR25 Part 25 appendix F, FAR 25.855
AIRBUS METHODS AITM 2.0010

Fire Hazard test – Unintentional combustion fire testing

We simulate fires in controlled areas in order to demonstrate the ability of the tested systems to maintain their operating conditions despite the presence of a fire in a specific area (hull, hydraulic tarpaulin, passenger luggage compartment)

Automotive and industrial fire testing

Characterization of the combustion materials

Measurement of the oxygen limit value

This test makes it possible to quickly determine the properties of plastic, composite and textile materials by using it during the selection or qualification phases of materials.

We characterize the percentage of oxygen required to maintain combustion of the tested component.

Testing is performed according to standards:

ASTM D 2863, BS ISO 4589-2, NES 714, G 07-128, T 51-071, X 70-100

Automotive and industrial flammability testing

We have additional test cabins for testing according to standards:

ECE Regulation 118 (R118), Annex 8
EN 60 322
CEI 60754
PSA standards, automotive D451333 and MIL STD 2223.
ISO 9772
NF EN 136
UL 0758
BS 6401, ASTM E662, ISO 5659
