As the leading testing organization in the automotive sector, DEKRA is the right laboratory testing partner for manufacturers, suppliers and retail when it comes to the quality of vehicle parts and components as well as automotive chemicals and operating fluids. DEKRA tests components, accessories, spare parts, coolants, car care and cleaning products according to many OEM standards.
Residual dirt remaining on surfaces from production processes impairs the function of electronic or technical components. For manufacturers, suppliers or users, DEKRA offers accredited cleanliness tests according to customer specifications and international standards.
Particularly in the automotive industry, as well as in medical technology, aviation and the electrical industry, expectations regarding the quality and functionality of components are high. It is therefore important to avoid any possible contamination in production and processing procedures. For example, silicones, solvents and other critical substances can cause coating defects in the painting process or damage to components due to contamination. For cleanliness testing of components, precision parts and filters, we offer comprehensive residual contamination testing and determination of your component samples in our accredited laboratory in Stuttgart according to your individual requirements and on the basis of internationally recognized standards such as VDA 19 and ISO 16232. We also perform LABS tests in accordance with VDMA 24364 to assess the LABS conformity of your products, parts and components for painting systems.
With new user interfaces, innovative materials and individualisation options, the importance of material quality and processing in the vehicle interior is increasing. Our accredited laboratory supports you with tests of vehicle interior parts for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and condensable substances (FOG), which influence the air quality in the interior, health and driving comfort.
In the car interior, emitting substances can negatively impact the air quality and thus may pose a health risk. They occur as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), for example from plastics of interior parts or components.In our DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory our experts use test chamber and odour measurements as well as chemical analyses to examine and evaluate the emission behaviour of car interior parts under various environmental conditions. We offer you measurements and analysis procedures in accordance with many standards and OEM-specifications, such as VDA 270, VDA 276-1, VDA 277 and VDA 278.
Materials and component testing
Testings according to OEM specifications
Please contact us regarding current OEM approvals as well as to coordinate your specific test concept. Classification of the detected individual substances with regard to substance prohibitions, declaration obligations and hazardous substance regulations (e.g. GADSL, CLP) is also carried out by our experts.
Quality requirements for car parts in the interior and exterior are described by the OEM in technical specifications. Initial sample tests in approved laboratories serve as proof for suppliers that the supplied parts and components comply with the corresponding specifications.
For automotive suppliers in the fields of plastics, paints, coatings, surfaces, electronic components, we offer laboratory testing according to automotive standards. The broad spectrum of our services ranges from the elaboration and compilation of the required testing scope, to the competent execution of the tests, to the preparation of detailed test reports. Tests include material identification, verification of mechanical properties and material requirements, media resistance, testing of coated components, climate & corrosion tests of internal and external components, hot light aging (xenon test) , Kalahari & Florida test, heat ageing, cold and thermal behaviour, mechanical shock and temperature shock test.
Please contact us regarding your required OEM specification for materials, single parts and assemblies.
Effective car cleaners comply with legal requirements, show efficient cleaning results and protect the environment. The quality and suitability of applied operating fluids also influence the functionality and service life of equipment, engines and motor vehicles. Our experts support you with chemical analyses for research and quality assurance. We also offer comprehensive tests and examinations in the event of damage.
Car care products and cleaners are commodities in the sense of the German Food and Feed Code (LFGB). They are subject to the EU Detergents Regulation (VO (EG) 648/2004) and the Detergents and Cleaning Agents Act (WRMG). In addition, there are requirements for labelling, safety data sheets (GHS / CLP) and reporting obligations (UFI codes). We support you in all matters concerning labelling and questions about the marketability of your products.
Customer expectations and requirements regarding material compatibility and effectiveness of screen wash articles and care products are also high. The accredited DEKRA laboratory offers you a wide range of laboratory tests and application tests with approved and self-developed test procedures for the necessary verifications as cleaning performance tests of screen cleaners in our temperature test chamber.
Testing of cleaning performance, material compatibility and ingredients
Our experts use chemico-physical analysis to determine ingredients, characteristics and impurities of operating fluids. The scope of testing also includes material compatibility tests and performance tests. To determine the causes of damage, our experts also carry out damage analyses.
On the basis of laboratory analyses and practical tests, we test the following products regarding performance, ingredients and material compatibility.
