VDA 19 ISO
Technical cleanliness of components in accordance with the requirements of VDA 19 and ISO 16232 is currently one of the most important topics in companies producing parts for the automotive and aviation industry. The forum is above all an opportunity to acquire know-how from experts on the basis of already completed projects. Meetings during the two days of the forum will take place in the form of presentations of the latest technologies and innovative solutions within thematic panels that are run by industry forum partners, experts in their fields.

Fraunhofer IPA intends to meet this growing industrial demand and support the development of practicable standardized solutions for industry.During our forum, specialists from the manufacturing industry, process engineers, department managers and production directors will meet with suppliers of machines, services and technologies to ensure technical cleanliness in accordance with the requirements of VDA 19 and ISO 16232 in the production and assembly process. The focus is shifting towards processes such as soldering, welding and coating. At the special request of our customers, our experts also give seminars on technical cleanliness that are tailored to requirements (with reference to ISO 16232).Ĭleanliness will become an increasingly important issue in the automotive industry in the future.

In close cooperation with VDA QMC, we offer training courses to become a » Technical Cleanliness Inspector« or » Technical Cleanliness Planner«. Development of comprehensive cleanliness concepts for production and logistics processes.Analysis and optimization of clean manufacturing environments on site at the customer’s.In addition to laboratory analyses, through our many years of experience in the field we also help with: Development of cleanliness inspection procedures.Independent analysis of particulate component cleanliness in compliance with norms.

Fraunhofer IPA has played a leading role in the development of the relevant standard VDA Volume 19.1 »Inspection of Technical Cleanliness « and VDA Volume 19.2 »Technical Cleanliness in Assembly«.įraunhofer IPA has several unique cleanliness laboratories at its disposal, enabling it to offer the following services to the automotive industry and related sectors: What started in the 90’s with just a handful of components under the term of “residual contamination” has evolved since the year 2000 to become a key measure of quality in the automotive and supplier industries under the new name of “technical cleanliness”.Ĭompletely new methods and techniques have been developed not only to assess particulate contamination that is critical to the function of components but also to implement specific cleanliness concepts in the various branches of industry involved. Consequently, in order to assure their function and quality, numerous automotive components now have to be manufactured according to stringent cleanliness regulations. In recent years, enormous advances have been made in the automotive industry with regard to enhanced performance, lower energy consumption, reduced emissions and improved safety.
