ISO 14624

ISO 14624:2013 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies test methods for assessing the flammability of materials intended for use in spacecraft and space systems. It was developed to ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of non-metallic materials used in confined oxygen-enriched environments. At Quality Asia Certification, we offer ISO 14624 certification services to manufacturers and suppliers serving the aerospace, defense, and space exploration industries, helping them meet stringent fire safety and material compatibility requirements.

What is ISO 14624?

ISO 14624:2013 – Space Systems — Safety and Compatibility of Materials consists of multiple parts that outline detailed test procedures to determine how materials behave in oxygen-enriched atmospheres under specific conditions. These include ignition, combustion, burn propagation, off-gassing, and compatibility with oxidizers. The standard applies to both component-level and full-system level materials used inside spacecraft, life-support systems, and other mission-critical environments.

Key Parts of ISO 14624 include:

  1. ISO 14624-1: Determination of flammability
  2. ISO 14624-2: Determination of ignition temperature
  3. ISO 14624-3: Determination of flame propagation
  4. ISO 14624-4: Compatibility with fluid oxidizers
  5. ISO 14624-5 to 9: Test methods for off-gassing, burning behavior, and materials testing


Why is ISO 14624 important?

With the increasing demand for advanced aerospace systems, the need for safety-certified components and materials is more critical than ever. Non-compliance can lead to severe failures during missions. ISO 14624 helps minimize these risks by ensuring that every material used in confined environments complies with globally accepted flammability standards.

Why Choose ISO 14624 Certification:

  1. It ensures your materials are suitable for aerospace and space missions.
  2. Demonstrates compliance with international safety requirements.
  3. Improves the trustworthiness of your product in high-risk, high-precision sectors like ISRO, DRDO, NASA projects, and satellite manufacturing.


What are the benefits of ISO 14624?

  1. Material Risk Assessment: ISO 14624 helps organizations scientifically assess and reduce fire-related hazards in oxygen-enriched environments.
  2. Global Acceptance: Certification enables products to be accepted by international aerospace programs.
  3. Enhanced Safety Assurance: Ensures non-metallic materials used in spacecraft do not pose combustion risks.
  4. Detailed Compliance Check: Each part of the standard covers different safety aspects—offering a comprehensive material evaluation.
  5. Innovation Support: Encourages R&D teams to use certified and safe materials from early design phases.

What kind of businesses can benefit from ISO 14624?

✅ Improved Market Credibility: Certification boosts brand trust among aerospace clients and governmental agencies.

✅ Access to Aerospace Projects: Positions your company as a qualified vendor for space and defense missions.

✅ Risk Reduction: Minimizes liability related to material safety failures or non-compliance with international standards.

✅ Regulatory Compliance: Aligns your material manufacturing process with ISO, NASA, and ESA safety requirements.

✅ Competitive Advantage: Stand out in the highly regulated aerospace supply chain as a certified and compliant material provider.

✅ Global Export Readiness: Certification helps in international tender participation and cross-border collaboration.
