FORD WSS-M98P13-F External Plastic Performance Standard Test for Color Mold

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of FORD WSS-M98P13-F test standard. This specification defines the minimum durability and performance requirements for exterior color molded plastic components.

This specification originally covered the exterior mirror, hood grilles and leaf screens, bumpers, radiator grilles, door handles, wipers, pickup box trims, moldings and exterior trim. Typical manufacturing methods include injection molding, blow molding and extrusion.

Testing must be done on actual production parts. Where part dimensions limit equipment access, plates representing production processes, color, grain can be used instead of production parts. If regrinding is used, testing at maximum loading level is required.

Test method and speed depend on soft and hard material combinations. Test pieces cut from components. The tensile stress applied across the interface should be at least equal to the tensile strength of the softer material. Installation on failure is recommended. Any tensile failure of co-injected or multi-injected parts should result in cohesion error.
