Test to evaluate the functional and deployment quality of head airbag systems, in which no parts may come loose and no damage to the airbag may occur during deployment. The test examines whether the system is reliably activated within the intended release parameters and whether it provides the required level of protection without additional risk of injury.

Testing the tensile strength of trailer hitches (cable pull test). This test is used to check the mechanical strength, deformation, and durability of trailer hitches under defined tensile loads. It ensures that the device functions reliably even under extreme conditions in real driving situations and complies with legal safety requirements. The test is carried out using a suitable trolley, whereby the trailer coupling is loaded with a defined force via a rope. High-speed recordings from above and from the side document the behavior of the ball bar, while force and displacement curves are continuously recorded. The test is carried out with both the trailer coupling folded out and plugged in to cover different operating conditions. The aim is to confirm the operational safety of the device and to ensure that all screw connections relevant to safety can withstand the loads.

Testing to ensure the functional safety of head airbags and interior components as part of conformity of production (COP). This involves assessing whether the deployment of the airbag causes any partial detachment or damage to the airbag and whether the system is reliably activated under series production conditions without compromising its protective potential.

Test to evaluate the flaring (bending and forming) capability at the ends of brake tubes. This involves testing the resilience of the ends of the brake pipes (flares) to ensure that they can withstand the forces and stresses in service. This test is crucial to ensure that the brake pipes are structurally stable and safe, especially in environments where they are exposed to vibration, pressure and temperature fluctuations.Release-relevant, uniaxial fatigue strength test as a single-stage test on a high-frequency, servo-hydraulic test rig. The test is carried out with 5 load horizons. At least 4 test parts must be tested per load range.

Test to assess the structural integrity and functional safety of passenger airbags under defined mechanical and thermal loads. This test checks whether the airbag system deploys correctly, operates stably, and ensures adequate occupant protection under all intended conditions of use without material damage or loss of function.

Testing the mechanical strength of tow hooks. This test is used to assess the strength and functionality of tow hooks under defined tensile loads. The tests are carried out from different directions in order to simulate realistic operating conditions. The aim is to determine the maximum tensile force that the component can withstand without plastic deformation, tearing, or failure. At the same time, the maximum deformation is recorded in order to rule out damage to adjacent components. Non-destructive testing methods such as magnetic particle crack testing or dye penetration testing can be used to evaluate possible damage in order to comprehensively ensure the operational safety of the tow hooks.

Mechanical stress on components using a hydraulically operated vibration testing system This test is used to determine the structural integrity and dynamic behavior of components and systems under uniaxial vibration and shock loads. It enables the precise simulation of low and high frequencies and forces in order to perform fatigue, resonance, and environmental simulation tests in accordance with international testing standards. The hydraulically generated vibrations can be used to simulate realistic operating and transport loads, e.g., for packaging, transport, or general vibration tests in the automotive, aerospace, and mechanical engineering industries.

Test to ensure the system integrity of passenger airbags in baseline deployment, in which deployment must not cause partial detachment or damage to the airbag. The test evaluates whether the system is reliably activated in series production condition and provides the required protection without additional risk of injury.

Testing the functional safety of head airbag systems, in which deployment must not cause partial detachment or damage to the airbag. This involves assessing whether the system is activated reliably in a series production and spare parts context and whether it provides the required level of protection without increasing the risk of injury.

Testing the functional safety of side airbag seat backs, side airbag cushions, and associated cushion parts, in which the deployment of the airbag must not cause any partial detachment or damage to the airbag. The test evaluates whether the system is reliably activated in series production and whether it provides the required level of protection without any additional risk of injury.

Test to evaluate the structural integrity and safety of high-voltage storage modules (HVSM) under mechanical impact from below, such as that which can occur when driving over bollards, bumps, or obstacles. The test simulates real-life load situations during driving in order to identify potential structural or safety risks at an early stage and to evaluate the mechanical load capacity of the system. In the test procedure, a defined biaxial dynamic intrusion is applied using a test body along a specified trajectory. The test can be performed on both dummy systems and real high-voltage storage modules. Optionally, a detailed analysis of the structural behavior can be performed by recording dynamic parameters using a GOM measuring system. Scope of services: Simulation of underbody loads (e.g., driving over bollards, bumps, obstacles) Evaluation of the structural integrity and safety of the high-voltage storage system Performed on real HV storage systems or dummy systems Application of defined dynamic forces using a test specimen Optional optical measurement data acquisition with GOM system for analysis of deformation and relative movement 

Test to evaluate the performance and safety of airbag components under realistic conditions. The test includes checking the function, reliability, and durability of individual components such as gas generators, airbag modules, and covers throughout their entire life cycle. The aim is to ensure proper deployment and protection of occupants under various environmental and stress conditions.

Test to evaluate the functional safety of seat assemblies with integrated side airbags, in which the activation of the system must not cause partial detachment or damage to the airbag. The test examines whether the airbag system is reliably activated within the seat structure and whether it provides the required level of protection without increasing the risk of injury.

Test to assess the structural integrity and functional safety of the integrated rear towing eye. The test is conducted according to the specifications of Annex 6 and Annex 7 to verify the mechanical strength and durability of the connection under realistic operating conditions. Tensile and compressive loads are applied to evaluate the stability and long-term performance of the attachment points. The towing eye is intended solely for vehicle recovery and towing operations and is not approved for regular trailer coupling use.

Test to check the safety and stability of trailer coupling devices in the event of a wall impact. This test is used to check the strength and operational safety of trailer coupling devices, e.g., trailer hitches, under simulated reverse driving loads. A vehicle with a trailer coupling device attached is driven backwards into a solid wall in order to record the forces acting on the coupling and attachment points. The test involves measuring force and displacement curves, high-speed recordings of the ball bar behavior, and documentation of the continued torque of all screw connections relevant to operational safety. The test is carried out with both the trailer coupling folded out and plugged in to cover different operating conditions. The aim is to ensure that the design can withstand these loads without deformation, breakage, or detachment, and that the operational safety of the trailer coupling is guaranteed.
