What is BS EN 16602-70-29 - Determination of offgassing products from materials and assembled articles about?
BS EN 16602 is a standard that discusses space product assurance.
BS EN 16602-70-29 defines a test procedure for the determination of the trace contaminants released by non-metallic materials under a set of closely controlled conditions. The test procedure covers both individual materials and assembled articles.
Under BS EN 16602-70-29 the supplier means the testing authority that is responsible for specifying and executing the offgassing tests.
The data obtained under BS EN 16602-70-29 are in respect of the nature and quantity of organic and inorganic volatile contaminants that evolved when subjected to the crew compartment environment.
Who is BS EN 16602-70-29 - Determination of offgassing products from materials and assembled articles for?
BS EN 16602-70-29 on the determination of offgassing products from materials and assembled articles are relevant to:
- Testing authority responsible for specifying and executing the offgassing tests.
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 16602-70-29 - Determination of offgassing products from materials and assembled articles?
All non-metallic materials release trace contaminants into the surrounding environment; the extent to which this occurs is dependent on the nature of the material concerned. In the closed environment of a manned spacecraft contaminants within the atmosphere are potentially dangerous concerning toxicity and its consequences for the safety of the crew.
An offgassing product is an organic or inorganic compound evolved from a material or assembled article or experiment or rack.
Guidelines provided in BS EN 16602-70-50 assist you with the requirements to determine the test procedures for individual materials and assembled articles.
BS EN 16602-70-50 also guides quality compliance personnel in preparing samples and reports and achieving quality assurance.
Thus, assists in the evaluation of the suitability of assembled articles and materials for use in a space vehicle crew compartment.
Following BS EN 16602-70-29 at the design stage, creates a standardized approach for you and you can demonstrate the reliability of adhesives and build trust in their use throughout the aircraft supply chain.
