The DEKRA laboratory for environmental and product analysis is now approved for the Mercedes-Benz AG DBL 1000 standard. DBL 1000 is a Mercedes-Benz company standard that specifies the requirements, test methods, and limit values for emissions and odors from materials and components used in vehicle interiors.
DEKRA’s lab has provided the evidence required to demonstrate full compliance with the requirements of the DBL 1000 methods. Mercedes-Benz Group suppliers from around the world can now choose DEKRA Automobil GmbH’s Stuttgart-based laboratory for environmental and product analysis to provide them with test reports for their products. The DEKRA lab has been supporting the automotive industry for many years by testing vehicles’ interior parts for gas emissions and other substances that affect interior air quality, health, and driving comfort.
The DBL standard has been aligned to the new numbering system and replaces the previously applicable DBL 5430. It includes the following methods in particular:
Combined with laboratories in Bretten and Saarbrucken, and the DEKRA Technology Center in Klettwitz, DEKRA testing services cover the entire automotive value chain in the context of emission tests: whole vehicle tests, testing of assembled components and small individual parts, corrosion and environmental simulation testing, flammability and component testing.
