Applied Technical Services’ Honda parts testing capabilities help suppliers keep compliant with pertinent standards and regulations. Automotive parts and materials are regulated by a variety of consumer safety rules, such as those limiting the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vehicle interiors. These chemicals, which are emitted from a variety of materials, can include known carcinogens and reproductive toxicants. For this reason, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Honda must ensure their products and materials keep end-users safe. Honda parts suppliers regularly rely on third-party testing providers to independently verify the compliance of their materials with all consumer safety and environmental regulations.
