The UNECE – United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, through the IMT – Institute for Mobility and Transport, has just selected CITEVE to test how textiles used in car interiors behave in case of fire.
The technology centre is recognized “as a Technical Service under the EU Regulation 858/2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and technical units intended for these vehicles for the designation ‘Fire behavior of the materials used in the construction of the interior of certain categories of motor vehicles’”, says a note released on Friday.
This means that CITEVE now adds to its accreditation the ability to carry out tests of fire behaviour of textile materials in the interior of light vehicles, such as upholstery and roof textiles.
