GS 93016

BMW approval according to GS 93016

Test laboratory approved by the BMW Group

Due to the continuous update of the group standard 93016 for plastics and thermoplastics at the BMW Group, the inclusion of material trade names and material certification is newly regulated. In addition to a wide range of practical and theoretical requirements, a release test by a BMW-approved laboratory is mandatory for raw material manufacturers and for materials. The type and number of tests have been defined by the BMW Materials Development Department.

To date, five laboratories worldwide have been approved by the BMW Group to perform these tests. Among them are the testing and laboratory facilities of the SKZ in Würzburg. Here, quality testing and quality assurance have been successfully carried out for decades. The acceptance as an official testing laboratory by the BMW Group is both an award and an incentive for the engineers and scientists at SKZ.
