Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard pertains to automotive vehicles and off-road,
self-propelled work machines used in construction, general purpose
industrial, agriculture, forestry, and specialized mining
machinery. This standard does not address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this document to establish safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use. Fire testing is inherently hazardous. Adequate
safeguards for personnel and property shall be employed when
conducting this test.
Purpose
This test method is intended for burning rate measurement of
polymeric materials used in the operator and passenger compartments
as specified by the applicable standard. SAE J369 is technically
equivalent to ISO 3795, ASTM D 5132 and FMVSS 302.
