This section shall be standardized in all reports. 4) List of Materials - This section shall list all relevant materials within the production build- ups. €) Identification of Test Articles — This section shall list all test articles by test article part ‘number, with a description, a cross-reference to the cushion assembly or production part number being substantiated, and the applicable pass/fail criteria per the regulations. In some instances, an illustration may be present to identify the location on the production unit from which the sample was identified if muitiple test build-ups exist on a given part number. 1) Test Locations and Equipment — Included in this section shall be ail pertinent information required to complete the RFC. Proposed DER's, DMIR’s, and DAR's as well as test locations shall be presented in this section. Page 6 of 12} 9) Conclusion ~ This section shall be reserved to discuss the results after testing has been accomplished. h)_Alltest coupon data sheets shall be included in the test report ’) All conformity paperwork shall be included in the test report. At a minimum a copy of. FAA Forms 8100-1 and 8130-3 shall be included. Other paperwork included may be DER approval of deviations, the RFC, and/or the 8130-9. i) Each report may include the applicable drawings that were utilized to determine the flammability test requirements for the production unit. k)_ Each report shail include the applicable FAA Form 8110-3(s) when utilizing previously approved FAA data. 6.1.2 _ Previously Approved Data Materials and build-ups that have been previously approved by the FAA do not require additional certification testing. Proof of FAA compliance (e.g. FAA Form 8110-3 that clearly defines material) shall be provided in the test plan in lieu of retesting that material 6.1.3 Similarity Testing Flammability testing is not required when a dye lot number changes for a given leather part number/color from a specific manufacturer, provided that the flammability treatment remains the same. When the flammability treatment is different on the same fabric or leather part number, re-test is required. Substantiation by similarity for fabrics or leathers with different flammability treatments is not permitted. Note: When leather, fabric, or foam requires to be installed with adhesives, the same adhesive type must be used, to avoid re-testing. 6.1.4 Approval of Test Plans Test plans created as outlined in the above paragraphs shall be approved via FAA Form 8110-3. The 8110-3 shall include the applicable FAA Project number. 6.1.5 Test Article Conformity ‘The test specimens shall undergo an FAA conformity inspection. Conformity inspections must be completed, and an 8130-3, “Authorized Release Certificate”, issued before testing ‘can be conducted. 6.1.6 Record Retention ‘A copy of each test plan, FAA Form 8110-3 approving the test plan, FAA Forms 8120-10, 8100-1, 8130-9, 8130-3, test results, and FAA Form 8110-3 approving test results, must be ‘maintained by the UF, and a copy provided to B/E for their records. 6.1.7 Summary ‘A summary of events required to show compliance with flammability requirements is presented in the table below. These events are listed in the order that they should be accomplished. These events shall be accomplished with every upholstery job containing materials not otherwise approved (Ref Section 6.1.2).

This understanding allows B/E Aerospace to issue an FAA project number via the issuance of FAA Form 8120-10. Should flammability testing and approvals be sought without B/E ‘Aerospace involvement, a similar sequence of events will occur. These events will be coordinated and approved by the TC/STC applicant's cognizant Aircraft Certification Office (ACO). 7. DESIGN DATA All the requirements, guidelines and/or criteria outlined TA 72 ed in a seat cushion system, must comply with ‘his section. UF upholstery/cushion assembly design data ut Applicability All engineering data (excluding those items in Section 6.1), used to design, fabricate and upholster ‘TSO approved seats must be reviewed and approved by B/E Certification and Engineering personnel. This is to assure that the upholstery design meets the structural qualifications and. requirements of the seat. Flammability Design data shall demonstrate that both the materials and cushion design comply with FAR § '25,853(a) and (c), for vertical bum and seat cushion (oll bumer) flammability.
