Replacement Parts Studies
The implementation of independent investigations of different parts. With this, other replacement parts in the automobile branch are tested and compared. One replacement parts study was built according to the individual wishes of a customer. Both original and generic parts were purchased worldwide and from across Europe in order to be tested and compared.
In order to allow the newest and most reliable methods to enter into our studies, we work closely with the recognised scientific establishments such as DEKRA and BAST, was well as universities and technical colleges.
Replacement part studies can, among other things, include:
- Mounting test to inspect and evaluate how well it fits, its functionality, and how close it is to the original, as well as the determination of work times.
- Material investigations to determine the chemical make-up, sizing, tensile strength, yield strength, and breaking elongation of the material.
- Crash test for the analysis of the parts based on different test methods. One example is the pedestrian protection test according to EU guidelines (HPC = Head Performance Criterion).
- Corrosion test to determine the part´s resistance to corrosion.
