BMW GS 97038 Flammability Test for Automotive Applications - Determination of Combustion Behavior of Automotive Interior Coating Materials

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of BMW GS 97038 testing. The test is used to evaluate the combustion behavior of combustible materials used in vehicle interiors.

It is applied to all interior parts of motor vehicles, sunroofs, mud flaps, engine compartment covers and sound insulation inside the curtain. The tests are carried out according to DIN 75200. Test samples for certification and manufacturing conformity are taken from component samples.

As an automotive developer, supplier or manufacturer, you must ensure that new materials and components comply with all regulations regarding flammability and combustion behavior.

The mentioned standard defines the test setup, fire test procedure and determination of the burning rate and evaluation criteria. Briefly, this standard is designed to detect the flammability of materials used in the interior of motor vehicles.

The flammability of all kinds of materials is examined with the tests carried out. During the tests, the sample is clamped in a sample holder and secured with support wires if necessary. A defined flame is then applied to this sample for 15 seconds from a height of 38 mm. The timing starts from the moment the third zone starts to light up.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with BMW GS 97038 test compliance.
