Dave, You can get this information by looking through your BOM, finding the component vendor, checking their website, emailing their contact, waiting a few days, and calling them on the phone if they do not respond. Your email message needs to be nothing more than what you stated below (from personal experience). (are you the Dave Wilson once upon a time from Wang Labs?) -John

Can you point me in the right direction as regards discovering the polymeric weight and oxygen index of particular components? Thanks again, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Jon Curtis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fire Resistance Database Analysis Hi Dave, I asked Verizon at the Las Vegas conference if they wanted a report from an independent source to support GR-78 compliance and they indicated at that time that they did not feel that was necessary. At Curtis-Straus, we routinely put together an assembly level flame database for every complete GR-63 report we produce. The Verizon checklist says that you need to provide it if they ask for it.
