To assess the utility of a laboratory test for smoke and fume emission from overheated materials, six materials were heated to 500°C in larger amounts in three locations in an air‐conditioned aircraft fuselage on the ground. Smoke, acidic or alkaline gases and carbon monoxide were monitored. It was shown that the laboratory test results could be a basis for predicting the smoke‐ and fume‐emission behaviour of materials subjected to overheating, e. g. in aircraft in flight.
