What "FAA-Compliant" Actually Means

FAR 25.853A — The Vertical Burn Test

When people in aviation upholstery ask for "FAA-compliant" vinyl, they are usually looking for material documentation showing compliance with FAR 25.853A flammability requirements — the vertical burn test for aircraft cabin interiors.

Spirit Millennium is listed by Naugahyde / Uniroyal as meeting FAA-FAR 25.853A, and documentation can be requested for the material shipped with your order.

The FAA does not certify upholstery materials directly. What you'll show your A&P, IA, or inspector is the manufacturer's flammability documentation for the specific roll your fabric ships from.

When Documentation Is Required

When You Need a Burn Certificate

If you're upholstering or recovering aircraft cabin interiors — seats, side panels, cabin trim, and interior panels — your A&P, IA, or FAA inspector typically wants manufacturer flammability documentation as part of the job paperwork.

For most certified aircraft cabin upholstery work, that documentation references FAR 25.853A. Documentation requirements can vary by aircraft type, inspector, and installation, so we always recommend confirming the specific documentation needs with your shop or inspector before cutting or installing material.

  • Aircraft cabin seats — pilot, copilot, passenger, jumpseat
  • Cabin side panels and trim
  • Interior panels and trim surfaces
  • Recovers, repairs, and full re-upholstery jobs

Burn certificates are tied to the specific material batch or roll, so the documentation needs to match the actual vinyl used on the aircraft interior.

As with any aircraft interior material, confirm the specific installation requirements with your A&P, IA, or inspector.

Will my A&P, IA, or inspector accept the documentation?
