Space product assurance - Determination of offgassing products from materials and assembled articles to be used in a manned space vehicle crew compartment

All non­metallic materials release trace contaminants into the surrounding environment; the extent to which this occurs is dependent on the nature of the material concerned. In the closed environment of a manned spacecraft contaminants within the atmosphere are potentially dangerous with respect to toxicity and its consequences for the safety of the crew.
This Standard defines a test procedure for the determination of the trace contaminants release by non­metallic materials under a set of closely controlled conditions. The test procedure covers both individual materials and assembled articles.
In this Standard the supplier means the testing authority that is responsible for specifying and executing the offgassing tests.
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.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Raumfahrtproduktsicherung - Bestimmung der Abgabe von Fremdstoffen durch Werkstoffe und Bauteile im Mannschaftsraum von Raumfahrzeugen

Assurance produit des projets spatiaux - Détermination des produits de dégazage sous atmosphère pour les matériaux et éléments assemblés utilisés dans le poste d'équipage du satellite habité

Tous les matériaux non métalliques libèrent des contaminants à l'état de traces dans leur environnement immédiat. L'ampleur de ce phénomène dépend de la nature du matériau concerné. Dans l'enceinte fermée d'un engin spatial habité, les contaminants présents dans l'atmosphère constituent un danger potentiel du fait de leur toxicité et de ses conséquences sur la sécurité de l’équipage.
La présente norme définit une procédure d'essai permettant de caractériser la libération de contaminants à l’état de traces par des matériaux non métalliques dans un ensemble de conditions étroitement contrôlées. Cette procédure concerne à la fois les matériaux non assemblés et les éléments assemblés.
Dans la présente norme, le terme de fournisseur désigne l'autorité chargée des essais, à qui il incombe de spécifier et d'exécuter les essais de dégazage sous atmosphère.
La présente norme décrit un essai destiné à fournir des indications permettant d'évaluer la pertinence des éléments assemblés et des matériaux utilisés dans le poste d'équipage d'un véhicule spatial. Les données obtenues concernent la nature et la quantité des contaminants volatils organiques et non organiques émis dans le cadre de l’environnement du poste d’équipage.
La présente norme peut être adaptée aux caractéristiques et contraintes spécifiques d'un projet spatial, conformément à l'ECSS-S-ST-00.

Zagotavljanje varnih proizvodov v vesoljski tehniki - Ugotavljanje odvajanja plinskih produktov iz materialov in sestavin, uporabljenih v kabinah vesoljskih plovilih s posadko

Vsi nekovinski materiali sproščajo onesnaževala v sledeh v okolico, pri čemer je obseg tega sproščanja odvisen od narave zadevnega materiala. V zaprtem okolju vesoljskega plovila s posadko so onesnaževala v ozračju potencialno nevarna zaradi toksičnosti in njenih posledic za varnost posadke. Ta standard določa preskusni postopek za ugotavljanje sproščanja onesnaževal v sledeh iz nekovinskih materialov v okviru sklopa natančno nadzorovanih pogojev. Preskusni postopek zajema posamezne materiale in sestavine. V tem standardu pomeni dobavitelj organ za preskušanje, ki je odgovoren za določanje in izvajanje preskusov odvajanja plinskih produktov. Ta standard opisuje preskus, ki zagotavlja podatke za pomoč pri ocenjevanju ustreznosti sestavin in materialov, ki se uporabljajo v oddelku vesoljskega plovila za posadko. Pridobljeni podatki obravnavajo lastnosti in količino organskih in anorganskih hlapnih onesnaževal, ki nastanejo pri izpostavljenosti okolju oddelka za posadko. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.

b. The supplier shall select test samples with a surface of (300 ± 10) cm per
litre of test chamber.
c. Coatings and finishes shall be coated on a clean aluminium substrate.
d. Material thickness, curing process and method of application shall be in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE Only the outer surfaces of a material on the
aluminium panel are counted in surface area
determinations.
e. The supplier shall cut films, fabrics and similar materials to ensure a
2
surface of (300 ± 10) cm .
NOTE Because materials are often “two surfaced” in
use, the total surface area is determined by
counting, the top and the bottom surface.
f. Heat shrinkable tubing or boots shall be applied and shrunk to simulate
actually used configuration.

Requirements
4.1 Preparatory conditions
4.1.1 Test specimen preparation
4.1.1.1 General preferences
a. The supplier shall classify all materials to be tested into one of the three
categories “Surface”, “Volume” and “Mass” described in 4.1.1.2, 4.1.1.3
and 4.1.1.4, respectively.
4.1.1.2 Samples of category “Surface”
a. The category “Surface” shall include films, fabrics, coatings, finishes,
inks, primers, adhesives, thin film lubricants, tapes and electrical
insulating materials.
NOTE This category is defined for materials that are
essentially two dimensional.
2
b. The supplier shall select test samples with a surface of (300 ± 10) cm per
litre of test chamber.
c. Coatings and finishes shall be coated on a clean aluminium substrate.
d. Material thickness, curing process and method of application shall be in
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE Only the outer surfaces of a material on the
aluminium panel are counted in surface area
determinations.
e. The supplier shall cut films, fabrics and similar materials to ensure a
2
surface of (300 ± 10) cm .
NOTE Because materials are often “two surfaced” in
use, the total surface area is determined by
counting, the top and the bottom surface.
f. Heat shrinkable tubing or boots shall be applied and shrunk to simulate
actually used configuration.

4.1.1.3 Samples of category “Volume”
a. The category “Volume” shall include foams and other blown or foamed
materials and insulating padding.
NOTE This category is defined for materials having a
defined volume but a large real surface area
due to surface convolutions or matting.
b. The supplier shall cut samples to a thickness of (1,25 ± 0,2) cm unless the
existing thickness is less than 1,25 cm. In this case, the existing thickness
shall be used.
2
c. The supplier shall cut the samples to a surface size of (50 ± 5) cm per litre
of test container volume.
d. The supplier shall use all surfaces, tops, bottoms and sides to calculate
the total surface area.
e. In cases where the cut pieces of the sample do not fit into the container
because of its size, the supplier shall cut two or more pieces, as long as
4.1.1.3d. is met.
4.1.1.4 Samples of category “Mass”
a. The category “Mass” shall include potting compounds, moulding
compounds, cast of formed objects, solid wires and thick plastics.
NOTE This category is defined for materials having a
defined bulk but not falling into the volume
classification.
b. The supplier shall use the samples as much as possible in the supplied
configuration and cut them to give (5,0 ± 0,25) g sample per litre of
chamber volume.
c. The supplier shall prepare and cut potted or moulded materials to
adequate weight.
4.1.1.5 Assembled articles
a. The supplier shall test assemble
