1 Scope
1.1 These requirements provide fire test and performance criteria to evaluate fire containment products
intended for a battery-powered portable electronic device (PED).
1.2 The containment product may include active fire suppression features without manual intervention
beyond arming the suppression agent.
1.3 These requirements cover fire containment products that are intended to be used by a
qualified/trained person.
1.4 This standard covers installed and uninstalled lithium ion batteries and cells.
1.5 The fire condition represented by the testing in this standard simulates the ignition of a batterypowered
portable electronic device (PED), combustible components, and assemblies associated with the
device.
1.6 These requirements cover containment products intended to be used for inhabited aircraft
compartments.
1.7 The fire condition represented by this test is limited to devices with electrical energy with a maximum
of 300 Wh.
1.8 This standard evaluates the containment product performance from the time that the batterypowered
portable electronic device (PED) is inside the containment product which is closed in accordance
with the containment product manufacturer’s instructions.
1.9 This standard covers containment products to be used for only one thermal runaway event.
1.10 These requirements do not cover fires caused by non-battery operated devices.
1.11 These requirements cover visible smoke, but do not cover the mitigation of gas (toxic, flammable).
1.12 These requirements do not cover containment products intended to be used for cargo protection.
1.13 These requirements do not cover fire containment products with active fire suppression means
requiring manual operation beyond arming the suppression agent, such as utilizing separate handheld fire
extinguishers.
