Element's FAA-approved flammability laboratories specialize in providing flammability testing for the Aerospace industry.

FAA Approved Flammability Testing for Aircraft Interiors

Nadcap Accredited Laboratory Testing for Aerospace

Measuring flame characteristics of plastics and textiles, flammability testing of aircraft interiors is a vital part of any aerospace qualification program. These flammability tests measure how long it takes airplane cabin materials and products to burn, how easily they ignite, and how they react when burned.

Meet FAA Standards Enforced by Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

Element offers aircraft interior flammability testing with active approvals from some of the world’s largest aerospace companies, including Boeing and Airbus, as well as regulatory agencies like the FAA and Nadcap. 

Our highly trained staff have years of experience testing aerospace interior materials, textiles, and upholstery. We work closely with The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and their designated engineering representatives (DER) who are available for consultation as needed.
