CS 23.2325 Fire protection

ED Decision 2017/013/R

(a) The aeroplane is designed to minimise the risk of fire initiation due to:

(1) anticipated heat or energy dissipation or system failures or overheat that are expected to generate heat sufficient to ignite a fire;

(2) ignition of flammable fluids, gases or vapours; and

(3) fire-propagating or -initiating system characteristics (e.g. oxygen systems).

(b) The aeroplane is designed to minimise the risk of fire propagation by:

(1) providing adequate fire or smoke awareness and extinguishing means when practical;

(2) application of self-extinguishing, flame-resistant, or fireproof materials that are adequate to the application, location and certification level; or

(3) specifying and designing designated fire zones that meet the specifications of CS 23.2330.
