In the competitive automotive industry, the reliability and durability of parts are essential for timely product launches. Suppliers must complete a series of validation tests to demonstrate the reliability and durability of materials and parts. As companies seek to optimise resources, forming strategic partnerships with third-party testing experts has become crucial.

In this white paper, our expert, Frank Augustin, Application Specialist for Automotive & Polymers, addresses how, by understanding common pitfalls and validation test planning challenges, product development teams can reduce delays, improve product launch timelines, and mitigate the effects of product failures during testing. He highlights critical elements in enhancing supplier relationships for better visibility and cost control.
