FAR 25.853: Aerospace Flammability Standard

What IS FAR 25.853?
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 25.853 establishes strict flammability requirements for materials used in aircraft interiors. Designed to enhance passenger safety, this standard demands that materials:
- Self-extinguish quickly to limit fire spread.
- Produce minimal smoke to reduce visibility and respiratory hazards.
- Pass rigorous testing, including vertical burn tests, smoke density evaluations, and heat release assessments.
These requirements ensure that materials used in aircraft interiors meet the highest standards of safety and performance in fire scenarios.
