Internal parts
Standards:
The two main requirements when manufacturing parts that are going to be inside the vehicle are:
1) Fire Retardancy :Conforming to FMVSS302 ( or similar) standard
2) Low Fogging values
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 is a fire test requirement for materials installed in motor vehicles.
Foams, such as that used in auto head liners, need to pass this test. The MVSS302 test is conducted by
placing a sample in the horizontal position in the test chamber. A small flame is started at one end for
a prescribed amount of time. In order to pass the test, the flame must not progress beyond a certain
length within a specific time frame. The test is classified on a pass/fail basis.( for further details see
