The Automotive Wire Combustion Tester is designed to evaluate the flame resistance and burning performance of automotive wires and cables. It ensures compliance with international standards and helps verify wire safety under fire exposure conditions.
Application
(1) Automotive wire harnesses – assess flame resistance for vehicle safety.
(2) Low-voltage electrical cables – verify compliance with combustion standards.
(3) R&D laboratories – evaluate new wire materials for fire safety.
(4) Production quality control – ensure each batch meets flammability requirements.
(5) Certification testing – for ISO, SAE, DIN, and QC/T compliance verification.
Standards
(1) QC/T703-2005 – Automotive electrical wire flame resistance standard
(2) SAE J1128-2005 – Automotive wire flammability test
(3) DIN 72551 – Wire and cable combustion test
(4) ISO 6722 – Road vehicle electrical cables flame resistance
