Airbus testing for flame retardant epoxies must adhere to strict regulations. The first test is the vertical ignition test (conducted in accordance with Airbus AITM 2.0002B, Issue 2 for specification ABD0031, Issue F, Section 7.1.2). To comply, the material first must extinguish flames under 15 seconds when exposed to smoke emissions for 12 seconds. The second part of the test measure how far the flame has spread. The maximum allowed is 203 mm.
