A polyethylene flexible closed cell polymeric foam containing 22wt% of EG as fire retardant is capable of pass the test of FAR 25 Appendix F of U.S. Federal Aviation Authority similar results were obtained using 18wt% of EG and 5 wt% of Saytex 102E (Albemarle, decabromodiphenyl oxide) and 3 wt% of antimony oxide.95... 

The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) guidelines for discrete source damage are stated in DOT/FAA/AR-02/121. They state [6] ... 

Since January 1990, the Federal aviation authority have adopted the developed at Ohio State University method, in which the heat radiation (HR) and the rate of heat release (RHR) are determined. The standard regulates the HR level at 65 kJ. Many aircraft materials do not face this demand for example, the ternary copol mier of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene resin, the polycarbonate, phenol and epoxide resins. It is foreseen to substitute these materials by such pol5miers, which meet these requirements. The measurements in combustion chamber of Ohio State University indicated that polyesteresterketone fulfills this standard.

The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has its own recommendation and mix design requirements on dense AC. Since it is a globally recognised authority, brief information regarding the AC mixtures proposed is given here. 

The Federal Aviation Authority in the USA commissioned NASA Ames Research Laboratory to examine the problems of aircraft interior flammability and they initially concentrated on limiting the effects of post crash fuel fire. The intense radiated heat ignites curtains, seats and decorative panels and it was reasoned that since the seats contained urethane foam, which will burn and generate asphyxiating gases, any improvement in upgrading the flammability resistance of the seats would provide a significant improvement in safety performance in the event of a post crash fire.

Some OoA prepregs are already undergoing qualification for aerospace production and have comparable mechanical properties to autoclave-cure systems for primary aircraft structures. Nevertheless, material qualification and the availability of a suite of OoA prepregs are still not at a mature level. To get Federal aviation authority (FAA) approval, a database of performance data from qualification testing is mandatory. Qualification of the... 

Although hydrogen halides (from halogen-containing plastics) are toxic, it is difficult to find cases of fire deaths attributable to them. Using quantitative assessment methods for the fire gases, the Federal Aviation Authority (189,190) model does not ascribe a heavy contribution by HCl and HBr compared to CO and HCN.
