Cargo Liner Flame Penetration Testing

Cargo Liner Flame Penetration Testing evaluates the ability of aircraft cargo compartment ceiling, wall, and liner materials to resist flame penetration when exposed to a high-intensity oil burner flame. ACES performs this testing to assess the fire-resistant performance of cargo liner materials and assemblies and to support demonstration of compliance with applicable certification requirements under 14 CFR § 25.855(c).

Testing can support both material evaluation and certification programs for cargo compartment installations.
