Automotive release testing of vehicle components.

Your partner for materials engineering and product testing

Automotive release testing of vehicle components.

We are a specialized testing laboratory for component testing and release testing of vehicle components for automotive suppliers in the fields of plastics, paints, coatings, surfaces, electronic components, etc. and we perform tests according to automotive standards.

ISO TS 16949, which is common in the automotive industry, recommends commissioning testing laboratories accredited according to DIN EN ISO 17025 for analyses and we have fulfilled this condition since January 2017.

The broad spectrum of our services ranges from the elaboration and compilation of the required testing effort to the competent execution of the tests and the preparation of detailed test reports.

Do you have a need for our know-how for your initial sample testing, research and application projects in the automotive sector?

Testing the technical cleanliness of components

To ensure that the function of your technical or electronic components is not impaired, we inspect them for residual dirt.

Emission and odor behavior of components

The DEKRA test laboratory offers comprehensive measurement and analysis procedures for test chamber measurements, VOC screenings and single substance investigations.

Chemical analysis of automotive operating fluids

The choice of operating fluids used can have a considerable influence on the functionality and service life of a vehicle.

Testing of automotive cleaning agents and car care products

Optimally matched cleaners comply with legal requirements, show efficient cleaning results and protect the environment.

FAQ

As a rule, 6–12 series specimens (PPAP- or IMDS-compliant) per test track. For endurance and environmental simulation tests, we plan the quantities according to the respective OEM specification (VW PV, Daimler DBL, BMW GS, Stellantis).

Depending on the scope, 4–6 weeks. Combined programmes (e.g. climate change + salt spray + mechanical testing) take 8–12 weeks.
