Discussion 

On July 31, 2003, we published 

amendment 25–111 to 14 CFR part 25 

(68 FR 45046). That amendment added 

new fire protection requirements 

applicable to thermal/acoustic 

insulation materials. It introduced a 

new test method and requirement that 

improves the fire penetration resistance 

of those materials, and added new test 

requirements related to flame 

propagation and burnthrough 

penetration resistance. 

We have developed two draft advisory 

circulars to assist in demonstrating 

compliance with amendment 25–111. 

These ACs are: 

• AC 25.756–1X, ‘‘Thermal/Acoustic 

Insulation Flame Propagation Test 

Method Details.’’ This AC describes the 

test method to determine the 

flammability and flame propagation 

characteristics of thermal/acoustic 

insulation materials. It addresses issues 

such as test sample construction, test 

conduct considerations, and the 

applicability of amendment 25–111 to 

certain materials and installations. 

• AC 25.856–2X, ‘‘Installation of 

Thermal/Acoustic Insulation for 

Burnthrough Protection.’’ This AC 

provides guidance concerning the test 

method to determine the burnthrough 

resistance of thermal/acoustic insulation 

materials installed in transport category 

airplanes. Also included is guidance on 

the installation details and techniques, 

as well as test condition details.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on 

December 3, 2004.
