2. Green environmental testing and chemical compliance services

The integration of China's auto industry into the global supply chain is the general trend of industrial development. At the same time, how to deal with scrapped cars economically and environmentally, and promote the sustainable development of the auto industry has become a hot spot in the automotive industry worldwide. Therefore, car manufacturers and their component suppliers must be able to manage the ingredients of the auto parts they produce and manage the release of harmful substances under the environment and human health.

1) VOC detection

VOCs, Volatile Organic Compounds, are an important cause of air quality in vehicles, and they also endanger the health of occupants in the car. In order to reduce the environmental impact of VOCs and the health hazards of drivers and passengers, more and more car manufacturers have begun to reduce the emission of VOCs in the car from the source, and to establish technology for automotive interior parts, interior accessories and accessories. Standardize and conduct quality monitoring. AMB has advanced analytical equipment and professional VOC technology experts to perform VOC testing on complete vehicles, components and materials.

2) ELV detection

On October 24, 2000, the European Union officially promulgated the ELV Waste Vehicle Directive 2000/53/EC. The EU member states have converted the regulations into their national laws before April 21, 2002. The scope of the directive covers automotive and automotive waste as well as automotive parts and materials. According to the directive, EU member states should ensure that from July 1, 2003, the four heavy metals in the vehicles (including materials and parts) that are put into the market must not exceed the concentration limit specified in 2002/525/EC, that is, in a uniform material. The maximum concentration limit of lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium contained in the product shall not exceed 0.1%; the maximum concentration limit of cadmium contained shall not exceed 0.01%. In China, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has promulgated the "Car Prohibited Substances Requirements" and has been officially implemented since June 1, 2014. All major automakers are also actively carrying out the control and control of ELV (End of Life Vehicle), tracking and analyzing IMDS/CAMDS of parts and materials information of suppliers at all levels, 3R calculation and restricted substance management. . As an industry-leading ELV specialist, Ambow Automotive Materials Labs can provide you with one-stop service solutions from ELV forbidden substance testing to IMDS/CMADS material information system tracking.

ELV main requirements

   Limit the content and use of hazardous substances in all automotive parts and materials

   ■ Reduce the use of hazardous substances in the design process of the vehicle

   ■ After July 1, 2003, the vehicles placed on the market are guaranteed to be free of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cr(VI), and the components (except as specified in the exemption regulations) are banned from all components and materials.

   ■ Cadmium (Cd) ≤ 100ppm (0.01%)

   ■ Mercury (Hg) ≤ 1000ppm (0.1%)

   ■ Lead (Pb) ≤ 1000ppm (0.1%)

   ■ Hexavalent chromium (CrVI) ≤ 1000ppm (0.1%)

   ■ PBB polybrominated biphenyl ≤ 1000ppm (0.1%)

   ■ PBDE polybrominated diphenyl ethers ≤1000ppm (0.1%)
