Preventing air pollution in cars and improving air quality is an important issue facing the development of automotive technology today. Limit values of air pollutants in automobiles and the problem of internal pollution in automobiles are a source of concern for consumers. Sometimes unknown odors occur in the car and the source is unknown. In this regard, test projects for odor tests are implemented in the automobile manufacturing sector. These tests intuitively reflect the quality of automobile interiors, based on the subjective assessment of the human sense of smell and comfort. According to experts, some unpleasant gases are not necessarily harmful, while some odorous gases are not necessarily harmless. When buying a car, the smell inside the car is also taken into account. For this reason, automobile manufacturers require their suppliers to conduct odor tests on materials and parts in order to ensure that the odor in the vehicle does not disturb the consumer.
With the Tork Servo Modules (TSM) technology, which is offered as a standard and developed within the scope of Toyota security concept, which is a security technologies package, TSM 0505G non-metallic materials odor quality standard has been prepared for odor testing in cars. With the test method described in this standard, an aging is applied at 80 degrees and 96 hours in a non-aqueous environment to determine the odor quality of non-metallic materials.
This test method is an odor assessment method for automotive interior parts. Thanks to the larger sample sizes and higher testing requirements, it is possible to distinguish an odor source, thereby visually investigating the contribution of a part assembly to the odor of the entire car. Compared with odor assessment on material types, this method quickly locates the entire source of automobile odor additives, effectively solving the problem of false assessment caused by poor local homogeneity of parts and component materials.
Most companies producing automobile main parts apply this standard to improve the air quality in the vehicle.
Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer odor testing services for non-metallic materials under the TSM 0505G standard, utilizing a trained and expert team and advanced technological equipment.
