VDA 19.1 Cleanliness Testing
Applied Technical Services’ VDA 19.1 cleanliness testing services help manufacturers achieve technical cleanliness in the assembly groups and components of motor vehicles. The standard helps to protect and prolong the life of several automotive fluid systems such as brakes, pumps, nozzles, and hoses.
What is VDA 19.1 Cleanliness Testing?
The primary objective of VDA 19.1 is to achieve a uniform standard of technical cleanliness amongst the automotive industry and its suppliers. VDA 19.1 cleanliness testing consists of several steps, including:
- Initial Inspection and Evaluation
- Inspection of Oncoming and Outgoing Components
- Quality Control of the Production Process
- Monitor the Surface Treatment and Assembly Processes
Cleanliness testing determines the source of contaminants and can evaluate the damage caused by the contaminants. Following the guidelines suggested in VDA 19.1 can help manufacturers reduce failure rates and warranty costs.

Extraction Methods
Our experts extract the residual dirt from components using the following methods.
- Interior Rinsing
- Shaking
- Spray Cleaning
- Ultrasonic Cleaning with Suggested Cleaning Agents
Particle Analysis
Following extraction, we analyze the contaminants found on the components to prevent further damage to filters, nozzles, or valves. Our analysis methods include the following.
- Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy
- Particle Mass Determination via Gravimetric Analysis
- Particle Nature Determination via Microscopic Analysis
- Particle Sizing and Counting via Automatic Light Extinction Particle Counter
- Particle Sizing and Counting via Automatic Light Extinction Particle Counter
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
