Space systems — Safety and compatibility of materials — Part 2: Determination of flammability of electrical-wire insulation and accessory materials

This document specifies two test methods for determining the flammability of electrical-wire insulation and accessory materials by exposure to an external ignition source in a static environment (test A) and in a gas-flow environment (test B). These tests determine if a wire insulation material, when exposed to a standard ignition source, will self-extinguish and not transfer burning debris which can ignite adjacent materials.
