APPLICATION This specification was released originally to define the materials performance requirements for exte
3、rior lamp assemblies such as front and rear lamps and licence plate lamps. 2.1 LIMITATIONS All painted exterior components shall meet the requirements of WSS-M2P180-latest for rigid substrates, WSS-M2P181-latest for flexible substrates and WSS-M1P83-latest for chrome plated rigid substrates. All cle
4、ar protective top coating for transparent plastic parts shall meet, WSS-M80J6-latest. When specific properties of a coated substrate are not covered by these referenced performance specifications, test methods within this specification may be applied for exterior lamp assembly only. 2.1.1 Materials
5、used in all systems shall withstand a paint repair surface temperature of 115C for 20 minutes without deformation, functional damage or loss of appearance or other specified physical characteristics. If material cannot meet this requirement it must be capable of being protected, e.g., with shielding
6、, during repair processing of the vehicle. 3. REQUIREMENTS Material specification requirements are to be used for initial qualification of materials. 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements for Produc
7、tion Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). This specification was developed using virgin material properties, however materials with recycled content as defined by WSS-M99P42-A (post-consumer and/or post industrial recyclates and repolymerised recycled materials) should be used whenever technically feasible a
8、nd following all materials and PV testing required by Ford Materials Engineering. The use of regrind is permitted, for economic/environmental reasons, with compliance as indicated in WSS-M99P1111-A.
