Includes high/low temperature operating durability, thermal shock, and enhanced thermal cycling to simulate extreme weather and engine heat.
To achieve qualification, components must pass a battery of tests detailed in the document, which vary based on the component's mounting location (e.g., engine compartment vs. interior cabin). Key tests outlined in the CS.00056 PDF include: Test Category Description cs.00056 pdf
This harmonized standard replaces previous individual specifications from FCA US and FCA Italy to provide a unified set of testing protocols. It specifically applies to two major component classifications: Key tests outlined in the CS
