Battery Testing
Through multiple laboratory centers of excellence in North America, Europe and Asia, Intertek provides a global testing solution, from thousands of individual cell test positions to multiple, large format (up to 420kW) electrical vehicle battery cyclers and more.
EMC Testing
Due to the continued growth of electronics being integrated into the vehicle, there are many more potential sources of electrical noise on-board the car. To effectively execute an EMC compliance plan, it is critical - prior to the initiation of EMC testing - that a test plan be assembled that has been documented, reviewed and accepted by all parties - the supplier, the OEM and the testing lab.
Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA Tests)
Depending on the complexity of the automotive component, product or system under test, a DFMEA can include hundreds or even thousands of individual tests –from a basic FMVSS flammability test to an elaborate key life investigation.
Systems Certification
There continues to be a very strong mandate from the OEMs to ensure that organizations within the supply chain implement and maintain the automotive quality management system requirements of ISO/TS 16949.
