• 25.603 Materials
• The suitability and durability of materials used
  for parts, the failure of which could adversely
  affect safety, must -
• (a) Be established on the basis of experience or
  tests
• (b) Conform to approved specifications (such as
  industry or military specifications, or Technical
  Standard Orders) that ensure their having the
  strength and other properties assumed in the
  design data and
• (c) Take into account the effects of
  environmental conditions, such as temperature and
  humidity, expected in service.
• Note Materials (including finishes or
  decorative surfaces applied to the materials)
  must meet the applicable test criteria prescribed
  in part I of appendix F of this part, or other
  approved equivalent methods, regardless of the
  passenger capacity of the airplane.

• 25.785 Seats, berths, safety belts, and harnesses
• (a) A seat (or berth for a nonambulant person)
  must be provided for each occupant who has
  reached his or her second birthday.

Federal Aviation RegulationPART 25

• (b) Each seat, berth, safety belt, harness, and
  adjacent part of the airplane at each station
  designated as occupiable during takeoff and
  landing must be designed so that a person making
  proper use of these facilities will not suffer
  serious injury in an emergency landing as a
  result of the inertia forces specified in
  25.561 and 25.562.

Federal Aviation RegulationPART 25

• 25.791 Passenger information signs and placards
• a) If smoking is to be prohibited, there must be
  at least one placard so stating that is legible
  to each person seated in the cabin. If smoking is
  to be allowed, and if the crew compartment is
  separated from the passenger compartment, there
  must be at least one sign notifying when smoking
  is prohibited. Signs which notify when smoking is
  prohibited must be operable by a member of the
  flightcrew and, when illuminated, must be legible
  under all probable conditions of cabin
  illumination to each person seated in the cabin.
• (b) Signs that notify when seat belts should be
  fastened and that are installed to comply with
  the operating rules of this chapter must be
  operable by a member of the flightcrew and, when
  illuminated, must be legible under all probable
  conditions of cabin illumination to each person
  seated in the cabin.

• 25.791 Passenger information signs and placards
• (c) A placard must be located on or adjacent to
  the door of each receptacle used for the disposal
  of flammable waste materials to indicate that use
  of the receptacle for disposal of cigarettes,
  etc., is prohibited.
• (d) Lavatories must have No Smoking or No
  Smoking in Lavatory placards conspicuously
  located on or adjacent to each side of the entry
  door.
• (e) Symbols that clearly express the intent of
  the sign or placard may be used in lieu of
  letters.

• 25.803 Emergency evacuation
• (a) Each crew and passenger area must have
  emergency means to allow rapid evacuation in
  crash landings, with the landing gear extended as
  well as with the landing gear retracted,
  considering the possibility of the airplane being
  on fire.
• (b) Reserved
• (c) For airplanes having a seating capacity of
  more than 44 passengers, it must be shown that
  the maximum seating capacity, including the
  number of crewmembers required by the operating
  rules for which certification is requested, can
  be evacuated from the airplane to the ground
  under simulated emergency conditions within 90
  seconds. Compliance with this requirement must be
  shown by actual demonstration using the test
  criteria outlined in appendix J of this part
  unless the Administrator finds that a combination
  of analysis and testing will provide data
  equivalent to that which would be obtained by
  actual demonstration.
• (d)(e) Reserved
