SAE USCAR standards are widely used in the automotive industry — particularly in the U.S. — and demonstrate compliance of products and components to safety, compatibility and quality requirements. Developed by the U.S. Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International), SAE USCAR standards aim to enhance vehicle safety, efficiency and performance.
Latin American automotive manufacturers, suppliers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and exporters can work with our experts and take advantage of our testing services in our Querétaro laboratory, located in Mexico.
Our testing services can evaluate your products’ compliance to requirements specified in the following SAE USCAR standards:
- SAE/USCAR 21
- SAE/USCAR 38
- SAE/USCAR 45
SAE/USCAR 21
SAE/USCAR 21 defines basic test methods and requirements for solderless crimped connections in automotive applications. You can trust our third-party testing services and global automotive expertise to assess the mechanical and electrical stability of the crimps.
SAE/USCAR 38
SAE/USCAR 38 defines basic test methods and requirements for ultrasonically welded cable termination type connections, including welded eyelet and battery terminations, used in vehicles. We can help you evaluate the performance of these connections under different environmental conditions.
SAE/USCAR 45
SAE/USCAR 45 defines test methods and performance requirements for ultrasonically welded wire-to-wire splices for automotive applications. We can help you with testing sample stresses that simulate a lifetime of exposure to a vehicle, such as thermal shock and temperature variation.
