Each vehicle model typically has a uniquely designed fuel tank; to be fit for use and demonstrate itself as a safe and reputable option it is essential to test to relevant standards. By participating in fire resistance fuel tank testing, you can ensure the product meets these standards, allowing the product to go to market.

 Benefits of Fuel Tank testing

• Type approval process of tank systems can be achieved in combination with technical services, reducing administration time
• Reduce potentially expensive, time-consuming product recalls. Identify performance, safety, and quality considerations during the product development process and through post-production inspection and testing before product launch.
