The topic of flammability of materials in aircraft assumes critical relevance in this context, with rigorous regulations and tests establishing standards to guarantee the integrity and safety of passengers and crew. This article explores the specific challenges faced in the flammability of composite materials, highlighting the importance of testing and standards, with an emphasis on the recent incid

As global trade flourishes, trust in product certification becomes a critical issue. This article explores a seldom-discussed facet - the potential security threat when sending samples to Chinese laboratories or when Chinese equipment is used in Western laboratories. Inadvertent outsourcing to foreign laboratories, especially in a tense geopolitical context, can expose companies to substantial security risks.

MIL-STD-810H Sand and Dust Testing, specifically known as MIL-STD-810H-510.7 or Test Method 510.7, is conducted to assess a system's resistance to dust and sand particles, which have the potential to obstruct openings and penetrate critical components such as cracks, crevices, bearings, and joints. The standard categorizes dust as particulates less than 150 microns in diameter and sand as particulates ranging from 150 to 850 microns in diameter. How MIL-STD-810 Sand and Dust
