Emissions and odour tests | Automotive

Materials used for interior parts release chemical substances that can cause odours or health risks to users. Therefore, amount of emissions of these substances is regulated. Our laboratory carries out emissions and odour tests e.g. according to the requirements VW 50180, VW 96043/PN 780, DBL 5430 etc. Evaluation includes classification of the detected substances according to internationally legal hazardous substances regulations.
