NASA-STD-6001B, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: FLAMMABILITY, OFFGASSING, AND COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND TEST PROCEDURES (26-AUG-2011) [SUPERSEDES NASA-STD-6001 & NASA-STD-(I)-6001B]
NASA-STD-6001B, NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD: FLAMMABILITY, OFFGASSING, AND COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND TEST PROCEDURES (26-AUG-2011) [SUPERSEDES NASA-STD-6001 & NASA-STD-(I)-6001B]., This Standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to
provide uniform engineering and technical requirements for processes, procedures, practices,
and methods that have been endorsed as standard for NASA programs and projects, including
requirements for selection, application, and design criteria of an item.
This Standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including
Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers.
This Standard establishes requirements for evaluation, testing, and selection of materials that
are intended for use in space vehicles and associated Ground Support Equipment (GSE).
These requirements may also apply to facilities used during assembly, test, and flight
operations, when imposed contractually to ensure safety of personnel and flight hardware.
Included are requirements, criteria, and test methods for evaluating the flammability,
offgassing, and compatibility of materials. Provisions of this Standard will be included, as
applicable, in all future contracts and programs involving space vehicles, payloads, and
associated support equipment. This Standard was previously published as NASA Handbook
(NHB) 8060.1, Flammability, Odor, Offgassing, and Compatibility Requirements and Test
Procedures for Materials in Environments that Support Combustion.
