Automotive Interior Testing
Ensuring the safety and durability of automotive interiors is a critical aspect of automotive testing. Covering everything from leather seat upholstery to polyurethane window trim, Applied Technical Services employs advanced technologies and methodologies to ensure that interior automotive components meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and user experience. Some of our automotive interior testing lab services include:

VOC Emission Testing: This test measures the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by interior materials. VOCs can contribute to air pollution and can be harmful to human health.

Fogging Testing: This test simulates the condensation that can occur on interior surfaces in humid conditions. This test helps to ensure that interior materials are resistant to mold and mildew.

Weathering Testing: This test exposes interior materials to extreme environmental conditions, such as heat, cold, rain, and UV radiation. This test helps to ensure that interior materials will not deteriorate over time.

Compatibility Testing: This test checks to see if interior materials will react adversely to other materials in the vehicle, such as plastics, metals, and fabrics.

Impact Resistance Testing: This test measures how well interior materials can withstand impact, such as from a hard object or a sudden stop.

Flammability Testing: This test measures how easily interior materials will catch fire.

Wear and Abrasion Testing: This test measures how well interior materials can withstand wear and tear from everyday use.

Scratch Resistance Testing: This test measures how well interior materials can withstand scratches.
