ISO 14624 is an international standard titled:
“Space systems — Safety and compatibility of materials.”
It is a multi-part standard designed to evaluate how materials react when exposed to fire hazards, especially in oxygen-rich and enclosed environments typical of space missions.
These parts collectively help assess the compatibility of materials with oxygen-enriched atmospheres and the potential fire risk during long-duration missions.
In spacecraft, fire risks are amplified due to limited ventilation, high oxygen concentration, and crew proximity. Even minor flammability issues can escalate into life-threatening emergencies.
ISO 14624 ensures:
It is essential for aerospace contractors, suppliers, and R&D teams involved in spacecraft component development and qualification.
Implementing ISO 14624 testing methods allows organizations to ensure their products are safe and compliant for space applications:
By integrating ISO 14624 into your design, testing, or qualification processes, your organization can benefit from:
Align with the requirements of leading space organizations such as NASA, ESA, JAXA, and ISRO.
Prevent material-related fire hazards in enclosed, oxygen-rich spacecraft environments.
Faster product qualification and approval for mission use.
Gain recognition as a provider of flight-approved, safety-certified materials and components.
Facilitate the safe development of new polymers, composites, and structural materials for space.
ISO-compliant materials and components are more acceptable in international aerospace supply chains.
