GMW GMW14650 PDF

Purpose.

This standard covers the performance requirements of plastic parts used in exterior automotive applications. The parts may be functional assemblies or they may be a subassembly of, or attached to, metallic, decorative, or functional parts.

Note: For coated (painted, etc.) parts, not all tests are required. See Table A1 in Appendix A for the specific requirements. Additional requirements for coated or painted plastic parts or parts which incorporate metals in their construction are given in the relevant performance specifications.

Note: Some paragraphs reference both GM Worldwide (GMW) test procedures and local test procedures. As soon as the GMW is available, it supercedes the local test procedure.
