Automotive Material Qualification and End Product Testing

From raw materials to components to full assemblies, GRGTESTtests and certifies the materials that will make it to the end stage of every automotive product, interior or exterior.

Via testing and consultancy, GRGTEST supports the automotive industry’s plastic, elastomer, composite, metal, glass, coating, plating, and adhesive materials for material submissions and/or end products. Our experts understand the behavior and characteristics of automotive materials, and we use the latest equipment and techniques at their disposal for further automotive material investigation.

GRGTEST laboratories operate under quality standards like ISO 17025, UKAS, or A2LA, and our experts have extensive knowledge on the ISO TS 16949. Tests include options in mechanical, analytical, physical, failure analysis, electrical, optical, exposure, rheological, and barrier needs, providing comprehensive coverage for all your automotive material testing needs. With our up-to-the-minute knowledge and wealth of material and manufacturing industry experience, GRGTEST’s ability to support your processes from prototype development to the final production process will leave you with a winning automotive product.
