Automotive Approvals

Companies in the automotive sector require laboratories that are approved by the manufacturers themselves to conduct different tests in accordance with both international standards and the manufacturers’ own testing procedures. To that end, brands carry out audit processes to assess the laboratories that perform tests according to their requirements.

AIMPLAS’ tests have been approved for different manufacturers to ensure that their parts are reliably verified before being launched onto the market.

Renault Group

Renault Group is another manufacturer that carries out its own internal approval process. AIMPLAS’ laboratories have been approved as subcontracted self-validation laboratories.

A number of tests had to be approved before it could be recognized by Renault as one of the laboratories that can provide polymer services. The tests carried out in AIMPLAS’ laboratories that were approved include identification tests, mechanical tests such as tensile, peel and tear tests, and performance tests under external conditions, in accordance with either international standards such as ISO 2781 and ISO 48-4 for density and hardness, respectively, or the company’s own standards, such as D25 1413-C for gloss and D45 1333-J for flammability.

Daimler (Mercedes)

DAIMLER group recently accepted ENAC accreditation for ISO 17025 as the minimum requirement for companies that work for it. AIMPLAS has held this accreditation for over 25 years.
