Testing of automotive textiles is becoming more and more vital. It aims mainly at assuring an expected performance of textile products in the vehicles. In this paper various tests and standards for testing of automotive textiles are presented. Automotive textiles have to match stringent performance and safety demands imposed by contemporary driving trends. There are several international or institutional standards which specify the test procedures and norms for automotive textiles including BS, DIN, ASTM and SAE. Testing of upholstery includes: dimensional stability, perspiration fastness, rubbing fastness, light fastness & UV fastness, abrasion resistance, pilling resistance, fogging resistance, flammability. Seat belts are tested concerning: breaking strength & elongation, restraining force, abrasion resistance. Air bags are tested: air permeability, bursting strength, breaking force & strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, fogging resistance, flammability, performance of entire airbag. Automotive carpets are tested concerning: width, length, breaking load, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, light fastness, flammability, fogging resistance. As well tyre cords & fabrics are tested concerning: adhesion to rubber, peel adhesion, air wicking, tensile testing, mass per unit areas, moisture, linear density. Automotive textiles are also finding applications in commercial, public and aviation transport. In few cases special testing methods are followed for such applications.
