Product No: ZRS-4H
The ZRS-4H Automotive Interior Flame Tester is used for evaluating the flame retardancy of automotive interior materials, simulates the combustion characteristics of automotive interior materials under specific flame conditions. By precisely controlling flame height, burning time, and specimen placement angle, it measures the burning rate, flame spread, and self-extinguishing properties of the material. The ZRS-4H utilizes an integrated combustion chamber design, integrating an imported flame control module and a high-precision timing system, automatically completing the entire process from “flame application – timing – combustion state determination.” Its windproof and heat-insulating structure effectively prevents ambient airflow from interfering with test results, ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of test data.
The ZRS-4H Automotive Interior Combustion Tester supports testing of a variety of interior materials, including automotive seat fabrics, instrument panel surfaces, and interior plastics. The specimen fixing angle can be precisely adjusted to 30° (in compliance with standard requirements), and the flame height can be calibrated using a flow meter and a scale (ensuring a 20±2mm standard flame). Equipped with a high-definition observation window and combustion residue collection tank, the instrument facilitates real-time observation of the combustion process and subsequent analysis. Widely used by automotive OEMs, interior component suppliers, and third-party testing agencies, the instrument is a crucial testing tool for ensuring automotive interior safety and reducing vehicle fire risks.

Applications:
4. Testing and Certification
• Third-party laboratory testing: Third-party testing organizations such as SGS, CQC, and TÜV use this equipment to provide automotive interior manufacturers with compliance test reports based on standards such as ISO 3795 and ASTM D5132, helping them obtain certifications such as the CCC, EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), and ECE (Economic Commission for Europe).
• OEM quality inspection: OEMs (such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen) use this equipment to spot-check the combustion performance of interior materials before parts enter storage. This prevents unqualified materials from entering the production line and ensures safe and compliant vehicle delivery.
