USCG Type Approval Testing Service
FILK was recognized by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) in August 2002 to conduct fire testing in accordance with IMO FTP Code Parts 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for Type Approval Certification. FILK was the first laboratory in Asia and remains one of only 15 USCG-approved fire testing laboratories worldwide. As a USCG-recognized laboratory, FILK conducts rigorous fire tests and assessments of ship components such as insulation materials, fire doors, bulkhead panels, ceilings, deck assemblies, and interior finishes on behalf of the USCG. Additionally, FILK supports the manufacturers' quality management systems through its FILK Follow-Up Service, ensuring ongoing compliance with USCG certification requirements.

TUV CERTIFICATION TEST(Fire resistant test of the plastic fuel tank for vehicles)
Fire resistant test of the plastic fuel tank for vehicles is to assess the fire resistance performance and air tightness of the fuel tank by heating the tank specimen directly and indirectly with gasoline for 2 minutes. Test equipment consists of fuel pan, screen, chassis transport, rail, and control panel

Smoke and Toxicity Test (IMO. FTP Code Part 2)
Where a material is required not to be capable of producing excessive quantities of smoke and toxic products or not to give rise to toxic hazards at elevated temperatures, the material shall comply with this test. The maximum specific optical density of smoke (Ds max) shall be obtained for each test. When making toxicity measurements, the sampling of fumes shall be made during the testing of the second and the third specimen at each test condition, from the geometrical centre of the chamber at the time when the maximum specific optical density of smoke is reached. The concentration of each toxic gas shall be determined as parts per million (ppm) in the chamber volume.
Performance criteria
| Surface of bulkheads, linings or ceilings | Primary deck coverings | Floor coverings | Plastic pipes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dm* | ≤ 200 | ≤ 400 | ≤ 500 | ≤ 400 | |
| Toxicity | CO | ≤ 1,450 ppm | |||
| HBr | ≤ 600 ppm | ||||
| HCl | ≤ 600 ppm | ||||
| HCN | ≤ 140 ppm | ||||
| HF | ≤ 600 ppm | ||||
| SO2 | ≤ 120 ppm (200 ppm for floor coverings) | ||||
| NOx | ≤ 350 ppm | ||||
*Dm is An average (Dm) of the maximum specific optical density of smoke (Ds max) of three tests at each test condition

Test for Surface Flammability(IMO. Res. a. 653(16) or 687(17))
Where a product is required to have a surface with low flame-spread characteristics, the product shall comply with this test. Where the primary deck coverings are required to be not readily ignitable, they shall comply with this test. The test method involves mounting the conditioned specimen in a well-defined flux field and measuring the time of ignition, spread of flame and its final extinguishment, together with a stack thermocouple signal as an indication of heat release by the specimen during burning. The following data shall be derived from the test results : CFE, Qsb, Qt and Qp.
Performance criteria
| Bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings | Floor coverings | Primary deck coverings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CFE (kW/m2) | ≥ 20.0 | ≥ 7.0 | ≥ 7.0 |
| Qsb (MJ/m2) | ≥ 1.5 | ≥ 0.25 | ≥ 0.25 |
| Qt (MJ) | ≤ 0.7 | ≤ 2.0 | ≤ 2.0 |
| Qp (kW) | ≤ 4.0 | ≤ 10.0 | ≤ 10.0 |
| Burning droplets | Not produced | No more than 10 burning drops | Not produced |
*Where:
- CFE = Critical flux at extinguishment
- Qsb = Heat for sustained burning
- Qt = Total heat release
- Qp = Peak heat release rate

* Materials and composites of normal thickness 50 mm or less shall be tested using their full thickness. For materials and composites of normal thickness greater than 50 mm, the required specimens shall be obtained by cutting away the unexposed face to reduce the thickness between 47 mm and 50 mm.
