1 Purpose and Scope

Note: In the event of a deviation between the English and domestic language, the English version of this standard
shall take precedence.
This standard is used to translate the characteristics of a material in the form of a code in order to:
 Define the tests to be performed to classify the material,
 Specify the criteria that shall be fulfilled by the material during the development of a given part.
It applies to thermoplastics, thermosets, rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers, rigid or flexible, compact or light,
reinforced or not.
Materials specifying a certification procedure shall be classified according to this standard.
Note: Thermoplastic elastomers are included in this standard. A material is considered as such if it has the following
characteristics:
 A tension set < 75% at 20% of elongation after (70 ± 1) h at +23 °C ± 2 °C according to ISO 2285 and
D10 5010,
 An ozone resistance ≥ 72 h, time for cracking to appear, at 200 pphm according to ISO 1431-1 and D10 5010.
Unless otherwise indication, the tests shall be performed on test pieces taken in the perpendicular direction in the
injection or calendaring direction.
The materials below are the object of specific standards:
 Alveolar materials,
 Wires and fibers,
 Rubbers for seals,
 Rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers vulcanized for hoses,
 Rubbers for anti-vibration parts,
 Belts,
 Decorations.

4 General Requirements
The requirements are available according to the services provided by material in term of:
 Regulation and consumerism,
 Initial aspect,
 Retention of characteristics after aging without use,
 Retention of characteristics after aging with use,
 Compliance with Groupe PSA technical rules,
 Technical characteristics (mechanical, thermal, etc.).
Specific criteria for thermoplastic elastomers or rubbers supplement this classification.
In addition, the main requirements are numbered for traceability according to the ISA, e.g. MAT_EXT_VIS_324 for
staining by the automobile fluids.
Those are identified by a code like this MAT_XXX_YYY_ZZZ, with:
 MAT for material,
 XXX is used to locate the application (scope):
 VEH for all vehicle,
 INT for interior applications,
 EXT for exterior applications,
 SCM for applications under hood or chassis,
 YYY specifies the location:
 TMA for all applications of the scope,
 VIS for visible applications of the scope,
 NVI for non-visible applications of the scope,
 ZZZ indicates an order number.
The level of compliance for the requirement is specified by an alphanumeric code.
An example of specification of the material according to different possible configurations (vehicle function) is indicated
in Appendix A: in order to perform testing, if necessary.
Note: On the other hand, this example has no priority over specification documents relating modules, vehicle parts
and material consulted, which remain the priority documents.

5 General Characteristics
Regulation and Consumerism
5.1.1 MAT_VEH_TMA_101 - Heavy Metal Compliance and Substance Regulatory Requirements
The materials shall comply with B20 0250, which specifies requirements related to:
 Prohibition (list of prohibited substances “P” in the GADSL),
 Reporting (list of declarable substances “D” in the GADSL).
All this information have to be reported to PSA via an IMDS datasheet.
According to B20 0250 and for health/safety reasons, specific requirements shall be fulfilled for all new development
of parts or materials:
For interior parts:
 Substances which are classified as CMR 1A and 1B under CLP (1272/2008/EC regulation) or which are able to
generate CMR 1A and 1B substances during the process, are prohibited starting from the threshold of 0,1%.
 Substances which are classified as skin irritant and may cause allergenic skin reaction under CLP
(1272/2008/EC regulation) (hazard statement code H315, H317, EUH204, EUH205 and EUH208) are prohibited.
For rubbers, the substances below are prohibited:
 DOTG (1,3-di-o-tolylguanidine – CAS No: 97-39-2 / EC No: 202-577-6),
 O-toluidine (product breakdown of DOTG - CAS No: 95-53-4 / EC No: 202-429-0),
 Nitrosamines (for example: N-Nitrosodimethylamine - CAS No: 62-75-9 and N-Nitrosodipropylamine -
CAS No: 621-64-7),
 Thiram (CAS No 137-26-8 / N° EC: 205-286-2),
 DPG (CAS No: 102-06-7),

5.3.5 MAT_VEH_TMA_306 - Heat Exposure

Heat exposure can be expressed using two indexes E or/and M.
For the interior parts, the temperature is determined by the position of the part in the vehicle and shall be confirmed
to be in adequacy with the requirement of the STO.
For the exterior parts, chassis and under hood, the temperature shall be in adequacy with the values of the ST or
STO.
The index E corresponds to exposure temperature threshold for the materials of interior or exterior applications or to
peak temperature in addition to continuous use temperature resistance for the materials of mechanical applications,
under hood or chassis.
The index M corresponds to continuous use temperature for materials of mechanical applications, under hood and
chassis.
In both cases (index E or index M), classification is done as specified in the Table 13 according to the temperatures,
except typical case of thermoplastics index M.

+70 °C 207E or 207M
+85 °C 208E or 208M
All materials
+95 °C 209E or 209M
Index E for all applications
+100 °C 210E or 210M
Index M for mechanical, under hood
+110 °C 211E or 211M
and chassis applications
… …
+XY0 °C 2XYE or 2XYM

Notes:
 For the temperatures not specified in Table 13, classification is written 2XYE or 2XYM for a temperature
corresponding to +XY0 °C. See examples below:
 Codes 223E and 223M correspond in previous versions of B62 0300 to heat exposure > +210 °C. These codes
can be specified for a heat exposure of +230 °C only by indicating according to B62 0300.
 For using temperatures not expressed in ten degrees (except +85 °C and +95 °C), the thermal requirement for
heat exposure will be required for a temperature ten degrees higher (e.g. for a temperature of use of +135 °C,
the heat exposure will be requested at +140 °C => code 214E or 214M).
Examples:  208E: Exposure temperature threshold of +85 °C for materials of interior or exterior
applications,
 210M: Continuous use temperature of +100 °C for materials of mechanical, under hood and
chassis applications,
 210M-212E: Use temperatures of +100 °C in continuous and +120 °C at peak for the materials
of under hood and chassis applications,
 230M according to B62 0300: Continuous use temperature of +230 °C for the materials of
under hood and chassis applications.

Elasticity Stability at Temperature

This characteristic is determined by the measurement of the change in tensile stress at 20% of elongation at a given
temperature > +23 °C, compare to the value recorded at +23 °C  2 °C and 50%  5% HR.
Three requirements level are define:
 Loss  20%,
 20% < Loss  50%,
 50% < Loss  75%.
The elasticity stability at temperature codes are specified in Table 37:
