Cross-standardised measurement method in which two surface models are superimposed in order to record geometric deviations. These models are recorded between two different conditions, for example before and after a climate, sun simulation or vibration test for automotive test parts.

Testing the resistance of markings and inscriptions on parts of electrotechnical products such as switches, plugs or levers to abrasion caused by wiping with fingers and hands. External Test

Testing the abrasion resistance and/or rub fastness of flocked (velvet) plastic parts and dyed or printed textiles or films.

Simulation of the load on the floor covering in the area of the accelerator, brake and clutch pedal by a (shoe) heel made of rubber to determine the wear resistance. The test ensures that the materials for the interior lining meet the required quality and durability standards.

Test to determine the adhesive force and sliding force between the floor mat and the floor covering. Note: Direction of travel must be marked on the samples

Testing for small components: 0.6-10 m³ The influence of environmental factors such as Temperature can cause age-related changes in polymer materials. These can be optical and dimensional changes or changes in the mechanical properties. The test in the climate chamber simulates certain ageing cycles in order to obtain meaningful results about the ageing values.

Test to ensure the resistance of the armrest to elbow loads as well as opening and closing under certain temperature and humidity conditions over the expected service life of the vehicle. This test includes climatised loads with a defined force to ensure the durability and longevity of the armrest under real conditions. Carried out with measuring robot Note: Body shell door must be supplied

Low-Temperature Behaviour of Plastic Components Determination of the toughness of plastics for exterior components at risk of impact at low Temperatures for components such as panels, foils, trim, etc. made of organic materials

Test for evaluating the impact resistance of plastics used for components in outdoor areas, in particular by means of the ball drop test. Test to determine the material behaviour during ball drop in tempered circulating air

Exposure of the samples to filtered xenon arc light to determine the adhesive strength (tack) between the polypropylene parts and other materials or coatings used.

Testing the brush abrasion of textiles with Schopper circular scourer to simulate typical use. Method for evaluating the resistance of textile materials exposed to brush action. Determination of the abrasion resistance of the textile, by measuring factors such as pilling, fluffing or surface deterioration.

Test for determining the flammability behaviour of materials used in the interior trim of motor vehicles. The standard outlines the test methods and requirements for assessing the flammability and fire resistance of these materials. The material samples are exposed to controlled ignition sources and their burning behaviour, such as flame propagation, duration and smoke development, is observed. No country approvals
