GMW GMW14650 PDF

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 (plated, painted, etc.) parts, only paragraphs 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.8 are required. 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 GMW test procedures and local test procedures. As soon as the GMW is available, it supersedes the local test method.
