scope:

This Standard defines a test procedure for the determination of the release of trace contaminants by non-metallic materials under a set of closely controlled conditions. The test procedure covers both individual materials and assembled articles. This Standard describes a test to provide data for aid in the evaluation of the suitability of assembled articles and materials for use in a space vehicle crew compartment. The data obtained are in respect of the nature and quantity of organic and inorganic volatile contaminants evolved when subjected to the crew compartment environment.
