environmental requirements: VDA 275 also takes environmental aspects into account, including compliance with environmental protection regulations and the reduction of emissions during painting and coating.
Determination of formaldehyde release – measurement method according to the modified bottle method: requirements from VDA 275
For testing, test specimens of a certain mass and dimensions are placed in a closed bottle over distilled water and stored at a constant temperature for a defined period of time. The emitted formaldehyde in the water is then quantified using quantitative LC-MS. The amount of formaldehyde determined is related to the dry weight of the molded part (mg/kg).
