LABS Conformity According to VDMA

All pressure and vacuum sensors of the F08-M1, F08-M2, and F09-T-M series have always been manufactured LABS-free. Now, their conformity can also be certified according to the new VDMA standard sheet 24364.


The Issue of LABS in Coating Processes

LABS (substances that interfere with paint wetting) can cause contamination of workpieces intended for coating. In the coating process, they can lead to wetting issues and coating defects, resulting in high costs due to rejects, rework, and error analysis. .

Results of the VDMA 24364 Testing

During testing at the Fraunhofer Institute, the sensor series achieved the category VDMA 24364-B1/B2/C1-L/W.

Standardization through VDMA Standard Sheet 24364

The VDMA standard sheet published in May 2018 defines the requirements for testing products for LABS. This marked the first time that LABS-free testing was standardized independently of specific companies, enabling comparable and reliable assessments of product LABS properties.

Application and Benefits of the Tested Sensor Series


Thanks to the testing and the LABS conformity declaration, the F08-M1, F08-M2, and F09-T-M series can be safely used in coating process areas. Additionally, their conformity generally facilitates listing in the automotive sector.
