What is BS EN 3475-407 - Method for determining the flammability of cables about?
BS EN 3475 is a European Standard that discusses electrical aircraft use cables.
BS EN 3475-407 specifies two methods of determining the flammability characteristics of a finished cable.
It is intended to be used together with EN 3475-100.
Who is BS EN 3475-407 - Method for determining the flammability of cables for?
BS EN 3475-407 on the method for determining the flammability of cables is relevant to:
- Aircraft electrical cable manufacturers
- Quality control personnel for aircrafts
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Aerospace and defence industries
Why should you use BS EN 3475-407 - Method for determining the flammability of cables?
Flammability testing determines how easily a material or finished product will ignite or burn when exposed to or used near fire or heat.
BS EN 3475-407 guides you regarding the testing procedures of flammability testing by providing guidelines for preparing test specimens, flame temperature, mounting configuration and flame application.
BS EN 3475-407 provides you with the acceptance criteria for two methods of flammability testing of electrical cables. BS EN 3475-407 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical cables that they need to adhere to if they supply their electrical cables to the aerospace and defence industries.
By adopting BS EN 3475-407, you can demonstrate the reliability of your electrical cables and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
