Motor manufacturers need to produce vehicles that are safe for drivers and passengers, as well as being aesthetically pleasing and built to last. Numerous standards and regulations exist to help manufacturers achieve these goals. Our automotive testing services include durability tests, as well as tests for cleanliness and fire safety.
Mechanical characterization, or physical testing, determines the physical properties of materials. These tests are vital for vehicle safety and compliance; the materials tested include plastics, metals, rubbers, paintings and coatings.

We have the equipment and expertise to perform mechanical tests including:
Please ask for the full list of international and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards we test against.
We have a multitude of equipment and test methods for assessing the ability of parts and materials to resist visible damage from:

We also help manufacturers test and benchmark materials (specifically plastics and composites) for their thermal and physical properties. These tests include:

To be compliant with safety regulations, manufacturers must check the flammability of materials according to FMVSS 302 or EEC 118 as well as their own specifications. The horizontal combustibility test determines the combustion speed of materials. In addition to this test, we can perform vertical combustibility tests.
We also provide another safety fire test focused on the glow wire test. This is an electrical safety test designed to evaluate the flame-resistant properties of plastic materials used in electrical devices. Its purpose is to protect against the risk of fire from overheated or electrically energized parts which may cause the plastic material to ignite.
