• Purpose To determine if a wire insulation
  system, when exposed to an external ignition
  source, will self-extinguish and will not
  transfer burning debris which can ignite adjacent
  materials

• Typical Specimen
• Single conductor multi-wire bundle with 43 cm
  test section
• Worst case insulation thickness
• Ignition Source
• Chemical Igniter or electrical overload
• Test Conditions
• Worst-case pressure, internal wire temp and O2
  concentration
• Acceptance Criteria
• Material is self-extinguishing if burn length is
  lt 15 cm and does not propagate by burning debris
