General Motors GMW3172 Testing
Overview of GMW3172
The GMW3172 standard applies to electrical/electronic (E/E) components that are used in a vehicle environment to ensure reliability over a lifetime. Examples include passenger or commercial vehicles and trucks. This standard includes tests to ensure customer satisfaction of performance over a lifetime of customer usage and exposure to various environmental conditions, such as Temperature, Humidity, Drop Test, Thermal Shock, Vibration, Salt Spray, HALT & HASS that may occur during manufacturing and shipping.
