Measuring emissions in automotive interiors
B
enecke-Kaliko is able to provide optimal support to Asian customers in measuring emissions
in automotive interiors. To ensure this, the specialist in decorative automotive interior materials tasked its labs with analysing the bag measuring method commonly used in Asia and examining the factors that infl uence the results. By developing relevant specifi cations and a uniform test confi guration, it is now also possible to achieve comparable results using this method.
As a valued partner to the automotive industry, Benecke-
Kaliko is committed to innovative and sustainable products. One important issue in this regard relates to the lowest possible emissions in a vehicle’s interior that can be measured with different methods. When the requirement is to determine both the VOC emissions and the aldehyde/ ketone emissions from the plastic materials in a vehicle, the Asian automotive industry in particular very often resorts to bag methods. That is because, compared with the VDA method, the bag method is less expensive since the test equipment – the bags and the oven – are signifi cantly cheaper than the test cabinet for VDA 276.
