Hi Jon, Can you give me a little detail regarding the database you put together? It seems to me to be a huge task. You have to list all of the plastic components in the system and either give the CTI or the weight of t he plastic material for each part.
Am I missing something? If not, what is your charge to create the database?

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.
