What is FMVSS 302 Standard ?

Understanding the FMVSS 302 Standard

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302 (FMVSS 302) is the mandatory flammability standard for materials used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles.

At Caiwing, our automotive-grade artificial leather (Silicone, PU, PVC) is engineered to exceed these rigorous safety requirements, ensuring the burn rate does not exceed 102 mm per minute. Safety is not just an option; it's our baseline.

Test Method & Process

FMVSS 302 test1
Step 1: 

Sample Conditioning

 
Samples are conditioned for 24 hours at 21°C / 50% relative humidity to ensure consistent testing baseline.
FMVSS 302 test2
Step 2: 
Mounting & Ignition
 
The leather specimen is mounted horizontally in the test cabinet. A Bunsen burner flame is applied for 15 seconds.
FMVSS 302 test3

Step 3: 

Burn Rate Monitoring

 
We measure the time it takes for the flame to travel between two specific points (38mm to 254mm).

Step 4: 

Result Verification

 
PASS criteria: The material must self-extinguish or burn slower than 102mm/min. Caiwing leather typically achieves self-extinguishing results.

Why Choose Our FMVSS 302 Compliant Leather?

环保信息
Health & Eco
 
We prioritize passenger health by minimizing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Our leather features low fogging values and is free from toxic heavy metals, ensuring a neutral odor and a safer, healthier enclosed cabin environment.
防火阻燃
Active Safety
 
Unlike standard materials, our leather features an active flame-retardant formulation. It self-extinguishes instantly once the ignition source is removed, effectively preventing flame propagation and minimizing fire risks in the vehicle cabin.
 
Soft-柔软-1
Durability & Stability
 
Designed for the extreme environment of automotive interiors. Our leather retains its fire-resistant properties and physical strength even after 7+ years of hydrolysis simulation and rigorous heat aging tests, ensuring long-term reliability without degradation.
安全
Global Compliance
 
Our materials are engineered to surpass FMVSS 302, ISO 3795, and GB 8410 requirements. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing by third-party labs (like SGS or Intertek) to ensure a burn rate significantly below the 102mm/min limit, guaranteeing consistent safety for global markets.
