QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Accredited tests according to automotive standards such as VW 80000, MBN LV 124, BMW GS 95024-3-1 and many more

E-components under voltage

Today's vehicles are true masterpieces of engineering, packed with sophisticated electronic components and systems, comparable to a computer on wheels! It is vital that your electronic vehicle components can withstand the most extreme environmental conditions and quality requirements to ensure that they meet the demanding international standards of the automotive industry.

LV 124 standard - The gold standard in the automotive industry

In 2013 the standard LV 124 was developed by representatives of German car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Porsche. This standard specifies various test scenarios, their requirements and conditions for simulating electrical faults in the electrical system of a vehicle up to 3.5 tons while driving. The tests described in LV 124 are included in their own OEM specifications (e.g. VW 80000, MBN LV124, BMW GS 95024-3-1 etc.). The aim is to minimize the risk of failure and to eliminate electrical faults that occur at short notice.

Test procedure

The components are subjected to various climatic, electrical or mechanical loads. They are energized with different operating modes before, during and after the test. Electrical values such as current, voltage and resistance are recorded.  In the best case, the control unit is supplied together with the samples. This ensures that the samples are controlled correctly and the correct key figures are recorded. The control system and the recording of the values are of course agreed with you in advance.
