DBL 5430 Car Interior Emission and Odor Test Standard

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of the DBL 5430 standard. Daimler is a global German automaker and owner of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The DBL 5430 standard published by this organization describes the requirements for materials and components that may come into direct or indirect contact with the interior air.

In the relevant legal regulations, minimizing the internal emissions in the car, in particular, compliance with the limits listed in this standard is foreseen. The DBL 5430 standard contains limits and test methods for odour, emission, fogging, 1,3-butadiene, formaldehyde.

In a car, all materials, procedures, processes, components and systems must comply with current legal requirements regarding regulated substances and recyclability. In this regard, DBL 8585 and DBL 5430 standards are taken into account.

For emissions from materials and components inside the vehicle, Daimler-specific specifications in the DBL 5430 standard must also be met. Critical individual substances cannot exceed the limit and target values ​​specified in the DBL 8585 standard.

If component measurements in assemblies exceed the required limits, as described in the DBL 5430 standard, measurements must be made on the injection molded component, for example the instrument cluster carrier. Any changes to the values ​​specified in the design require written approval.

Many parts used in a vehicle's interior are subject to emissions measurements and analysis. These tests are based on the standards set by almost every automotive manufacturer according to their own processes. These standards are often directly based on common standards. The DBL 5430 standard designed by the Daimler automobile company is one of them.

When talking about the interior of the car, one of the most heavily debated issues is low emissions, as most of the automakers are working to improve the air quality in the passenger compartment. Low emission is considered to be a combination of odour, misting and emission, not just emission.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides testing services for emissions and odors in the interior of the car, within the scope of the DBL 5430 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
