Flammability Specimen Preparation As Per FMVSS 302
Accurate Flammability Specimen Preparation in Chennai – Kiyo RND Lab
Introduction
- At Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory, we offer professional flammability specimen preparation in Chennai, compliant with the widely accepted FMVSS 302 standard. We also provide custom thickness moulding services to ensure test-ready specimens for a wide range of materials.
Why Flammability Specimen Preparation Matters
The accuracy of a flammability test is only as good as the specimen being tested. Improper cutting, incorrect sizing, or uneven surfaces can invalidate results. That’s why the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 302 clearly outlines strict requirements for specimen dimensions, conditioning, and surface quality.
For industries operating under regulatory requirements, poor specimen prep can lead to failed audits, rejected parts, and delayed production.
FMVSS 302 Standard – Key Specimen Criteria
At Kiyo R&D Lab, we strictly adhere to the following requirements when preparing flammability specimens:
Dimensions: 356 mm (length) × 102 mm (width)
Thickness: Original material thickness or custom-moulded to specification
Surface: Smooth edges, defect-free, with no signs of contamination
Conditioning: Specimens are conditioned at 23°C ± 2°C and 50% RH ± 5% for 24 hours before testing
