This report discusses the flammability tests conducted on aviation and nonaviation electrical wiring that were performed to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-mandated 60 deg Bunsen burner flammability test requirement for aircraft wiring. The evaluation included a 60 deg flammability test, an intermediate-scale vertical flammability test, and an intermediate-scale cabin attic flammability test. Test results showed that the 60 deg single wire Bunsen burner flammability test may not be adequate to qualify wire when bundled and subjected to a severe ignition source.
