Interior Materials Emissions Testing

Our laboratory provides comprehensive analysis of interior automotive materials, evaluating total VOC content using FID, identifying hazardous substances with GC-MS, and determining odor characteristics. We conduct fogging tests using both gravimetric and reflectometric methods, and measure formaldehyde levels with our Thermo Scientific UV VIS 10S spectrophotometer. This complete testing suite delivers critical emissions data for interior component compliance.

OEM-Approved Testing Services

As an approved laboratory for VW Group, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Jaguar, and Stellantis, we provide testing according to numerous industry standards including VW50180, PV3015, PV3341, DIN 75 201, and various VDA specifications. We offer efficient batch testing to reduce time and costs, complete project management with subcontracting options for specialized requirements, and expert consultancy services to help interpret results and implement improvements.
