Abstract
The emphasis of the guidance and navigation flammability test program on actual application requirements and conventional metallic materials allowed a timely response to program requirements. The main critical element used was the no-burn redesign discipline. These design approaches are recommended for application in other electrical equipment for which flammability may be a serious consideration.
