The quality of indoor air in vehicles is strongly influenced
by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from components,
semi-finished products and materials used in the vehicle interior.
The Olfasense 1 m³ VOC emission test chamber EK1000
allows characterization of the emissions of volatile organic compounds
under precise test conditions, and is fully compliant with the
requirements of ISO 12219-4 and VDA 276.
The chamber meets also all requirements of the manufacturer
standardards GS97014-3 (BMW method), PN 780 (Porsche method), VCS 1027,
2769 (Volvo method), as well as PV 3942 (Volkswagen method).
The chamber is optionally available with a SHED function for testing
according to GS-97014-2, as well as a fogging device according to VDA
276 and VCS 1027, 2769 (Volvo method).
The chamber has been developed as a joint venture with the company CTS ,
one of the leading specialists in the field of environmental
simulation. Their innovative and technically high-quality products are
delivered to the most renowned industrial companies worldwide, with more
than 12,000 devices sold in Germany and abroad. Major client segments
include the automotive industry and its suppliers, as well as test
laboratories.
By consolidating their respective know-how and expertise, our two
companies have developed the EK1000 VOC emission test chamber, providing
clients a technically and economically optimized test system to
characterize emissions of volatile organic compounds under precise test
conditions.
