Beier provides weathering, light aging, and corrosion (salt spray) test equipment and services for global automotive OEMs and major suppliers. Our testing solutions help manufacturers evaluate material durability, ensuring components withstand environmental exposure and meet industry standards.
Testing the weather resistance, UV aging, and corrosion resistance of automotive materials is essential for ensuring long-term durability. Beier provides advanced testing solutions for interior components, tires, body panels, and entire vehicles, simulating real-world exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. With the rise of new automotive substrate materials replacing traditional steel, along with the increasing use of electric drive components, EV battery systems, and sensors for driver assistance and autonomous vehicles, the need for reliable environmental testing has never been greater.
To meet these evolving industry demands, we offer walk-in & drive-in environmental test chambers, designed to comply with global automotive testing standards. These chambers provide precise environmental control, allowing manufacturers to evaluate material performance under extreme conditions and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
The following are some of the key standards referenced for automotive material testing:
- ASTM Standards: ASTM D7869, ASTM 1149
- BMW Standards: BMW GS 95024-3-1, BMW AA-P 260
- GB/T Standards: GB/T 32088, GB/T 5137
- ISO Standards: ISO 105-B06, ISO 4892-1
- Military Standard: MIL-STD 810G
- Volvo Standard: Volvo STD1027
- Volkswagen Standard: VW PV 3930
- JIS Standard: JIS K6259
Xenon, high-low temperature & humidity, and UV test equipment can be used to evaluate the weather resistance of automotive paint systems and coatings, ensuring they meet industry standards. These testing solutions simulate UV exposure, temperature variations, and humidity, allowing manufacturers to assess material durability under real-world conditions.
For corrosion testing, coatings are often subjected to wet/dry cycles, temperature fluctuations, and electrolyte spray exposure. Beier can provide salt spray and cyclic corrosion test systems to meet the diverse testing needs of suppliers. Additionally, ozone and xenon testing solutions can be used to evaluate the performance of rubber and plastic components, including exterior trim, weather-resistant seals, gaskets, and tires, ensuring they maintain durability over time.
From exterior components such as paint coatings, bumpers, body panels, trim, logos, weather-resistant seals, gaskets, engine compartments, transmission systems, and wheel assemblies, to interior parts including dashboards, door panels, airbag covers, hard surfaces, and electronic modules, as well as full-vehicle testing, Beier provides tailored solutions to meet industry demands. With a deep understanding of specific customer requirements, we are able to develop customized testing solutions that address both current needs and future challenges. Our approach ensures flexibility and adaptability in testing processes, allowing manufacturers to refine materials and improve product performance. In addition, ongoing technical support and continuous optimization services help customers stay aligned with technological advancements and evolving market demands.
Our clients include GWM, JHTC, CATARC, Seres, Changan Automobile, BYD, and others.
