Applied Technical Services offers Toyota parts testing to help suppliers maintain compliance with relevant standards and regulations. A variety of consumer safety regulations and industry quality standards determine the requirements automotive parts must meet, including the following broad categories:
- Dimensional Specifications
- Mechanical Performance
- Resistance to Wear
- Chemical Properties
Of this last group, the presence and prevalence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in automotive interiors draw specific scrutiny. VOCs are a class of chemicals that are emitted from a variety of materials. Many of these VOCs have been found to have negative effects in both human and environmental health. Automakers like Toyota and their parts suppliers know that minimizing passengers’ exposure to VOCs helps make their products safer. They trust third-party testing providers like ATS to help determine the characteristics of their components and materials.
