VDA 275 Standard Test for Determination of Formaldehyde from Vehicles by Modified Bottle Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of VDA 275 standard. VDA 275 is a measurement method for molded parts of the vehicle interior, providing the mass-related formaldehyde value of the emission of a material.

Formaldehyde is a pungent gas that not only irritates the eyes and respiratory tract, but is also classified as a "possible carcinogen".

The procedure is applied to checking the equivalence of the production of molded parts. Applicable to material development and acceptance control on a limited basis.

VDA 275 is an internationally accepted test procedure that eliminates this problem by determining formaldehyde emissions.

One of the most common indoor pollutants, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes, nose and throat when found at high levels in buildings, homes and vehicle interiors.

In the test, samples of certain mass and size are fixed in a 1 liter sealed Polyethylene bottle with distilled water and stored at constant temperature for a certain period of time. The bottles are then cooled and the dissolved formaldehyde in the distilled water is determined. The result is expressed as weight (mg/kg).
