Volvo STD 104-0001 Standard Test for Flammability (Combustion Behavior) of Interior and Exterior Materials

The EUROLAB laboratory offers testing and compliance services under the Volvo STD 104-0001 standard. This standard specifies fire resistance requirements for materials used in passenger compartments of motor vehicles.

Its purpose is also to set requirements for exterior components in the engine compartment such as fenders, rear view mirrors and guards.

The purpose of this standard is to reduce death and injury to motor vehicle occupants, particularly from vehicle fires from sources such as matches or cigarettes from inside the vehicle.

This standard applies to off-road vehicles as well as passenger cars, trucks and buses. Passenger compartment air space means the space within the passenger compartment that normally contains renewable air.

Burning rate means the division of the burning distance measured according to this standard and the time it takes to burn this distance. It is expressed in millimeters per minute. For exterior materials, the exposed side means the side that is visible or first visible if the vehicle is to be dismantled.
