Developed by BMW, a multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Germany, the BMW GS 97034 standard, under the main heading "Surface testing of interior materials of motor vehicles," consists of the following sub-sections:
The BMW GS 97034-1 standard describes a test method that involves exposing vehicle interior surface materials to frictional forces from fingers, parts of the hand or other body parts. This standard defines manual wear testing and is applied to coated and uncoated surface materials. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the chemical and physical suitability of material. The range of parts to be tested is coordinated with the relevant department.
The BMW GS 97034-2 standard describes the nail test method using a plastic test object. This standard applies to painted, coated, uncoated and laminated surface materials. This test method is used to determine the resistance of surface materials in the passenger compartment to damage caused by nails. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for material compatibility. The components to be tested are defined in agreement with the relevant departments. The applicable requirements for surface materials are defined in the relevant regulations.
The BMW GS 97034-3 standard describes a shoe sole testing method performed using an Abrex test bench. This test method serves to determine the hardness of the material surface and its resistance to pressure from the shoe sole. The aim of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the suitability of the material.
The BMW GS 97034-4A standard defines a test procedure (Abrex) for determining the color wear behavior of interior materials. This test method uses the Abrex test bench. This test method serves to determine the color wear behavior of the material surface. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the suitability of material.
The BMW GS 97034-5A standard defines a test procedure (Abrex) for determining the resistance of vehicle interior materials to cleaning agents. This test method uses the Abrex test bench. This test method serves to determine the resistance of the material surface to cleaning agents. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the suitability of material.
The BMW GS 97034-6 standard defines a test method for determining the soiling behavior and cleaning ability of interior materials. This test method serves to determine the contamination behavior and cleaning ability of the material surface. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the suitability of material.
The BMW GS 97034-7 standard describes the drop test method for vehicle interior materials. This test method is applied to coated and uncoated surface materials, preferably for hard surfaces. This test procedure serves to determine the hardness of the material surface and the resistance to falling objects. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the suitability of material. The range of parts to be tested is coordinated with the relevant specialist department.
The BMW GS 97034-8 standard describes a test method for determining the scratch slope of vehicle interior materials. This test method is applied to coated and uncoated surface materials, preferably for hard surfaces. Inner surface materials come in contact with various objects such as finger ring, key or other sharp-edged and hard objects and are always susceptible to scratches. This test procedure serves to determine the resistance of surface materials to objects that can cause scratching. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standard test method for evaluating the suitability of material. The range of parts to be tested is coordinated with the relevant departments. For aluminum surfaces, the deflection conditions described in the seventh chapter apply.
The BMW GS 97034-9 standard defines the scratch test method of vehicle interior materials. This test method is applied to coated and uncoated surface materials, preferably for hard surfaces. This test procedure serves to determine the resistance of surface materials to objects that can cause scratching. Inner surface materials are in contact with various objects such as finger ring, key or other sharp-edged and hard objects and are always susceptible to scratches. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standard test method for evaluating the suitability of material. The range of parts to be tested is coordinated with the relevant departments. For aluminum surfaces, the deflection conditions described in the seventh chapter apply.
The BMW GS 97034-10 standard defines a test method for determining the resistance of vehicle interior materials to scratches and picking. This test method serves to determine the scratch and abrasion resistance of the material surface. The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized test method for evaluating the suitability of material.
