Why High-Purity needed
Suppliers should meet VDA Certification Standards
- The German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) mandates technical cleanliness through VDA PPA 2020 (6th Edition).
- VDA 19.1 and VDA 19.2 regulations apply to Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 suppliers, ensuring compliance with standards set by VW, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
- Automakers conduct unannounced Technical Readiness Level (TRL) audits to verify adherence to cleanliness requirements.
Contamination Risks
- Particle Contamination:
- Operational Issues: Contaminants can affect bearings, valve bodies, and fuel injectors, reducing precision.
- Dimensional Tolerances: Microscopic contaminants may cause deviations in tolerances.
- Electronic Short Circuits: Metallic particles can lead to short circuits in electronic control units (ECUs).
- Reduced Component Lifespan: Inadequate cleanliness accelerates material degradation and corrosion
The German Big Three automakers—Volkswagen Group (including Porsche and Audi), Mercedes-Benz, Daimler Truck, and BMW Group—require compliance with VDA 19.1 and VDA 19.2 cleanliness standards throughout their supply chains. Adhering to these high cleanliness standards is essential for ensuring the reliability and performance of components in your vehicles.
Industry Cleanliness Standard
Each major automotive system has strict cleanliness limits for critical components
- Fuel Lines / ABS / Injection Systems— Maximum 100-300μm metal particles.
- Hydraulic Systems— Maximum 150-600μm metal particles.
- Transmission Systems— Maximum 300-700μm metal particles.
