Endurance of Interior & Exterior Parts

Produce safe, reliable long-lasting vehicles by testing the endurance of its components parts.

During the lifetime of a vehicle, its components, parts, assemblies and sub-assemblies will need to withstand repeated usage as well as conditions including stresses, strains and temperature changes. For this reason, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) demand the highest quality components throughout the supply chain.  

At SGS, our endurance and durability testing services can verify these high standards and help OEMs determine the expected life expectancy of components, as well as the long-term viability of the car. Testing during the early stages of product development also detects faults before the vehicle goes into production, saving time and costly recalls.  

We have the experience, equipment and expertise to test full vehicles, subsystems and individual components against OEM national specifications such as ASTM, DIN and JASO, as well as international standards including ISO, EN and SAE.  

Durability and Endurance Testing

To check the durability of interior and exterior parts we use endurance benches or robots to perform fatigue tests by applying alternating or cyclic stress or strain at high, low and room temperature. Endurance can be assessed under three categories: Static strength, Dynamic strength and Stiffness.  

Durability and endurance testing on the following vehicle parts, assemblies and systems:

  • Life & Fatigue Test
    • Chassis including the hydraulic servo system
    • Interior including cockpits, instrument panels, door panels, center and floor consoles, decorative interior panels and trim parts, glove boxes, air louvers, grab handles, leather and textile panels, soft-touch panels, decorative trim, trunk liners, A/B/C pillar covers, pedal box assemblies, seats, steering system, sun visors and grommets
