Description / Abstract:
The purpose of this document is to harmonize VIEQ requirements
within Ford Motor Company, and to document guidelines pertaining to
certain materials with regards to Odor, Fogging and the emission of
Formaldehyde and Volatile Organic Carbon Compounds (VOC's). In
addition, the requirements for allergy testing of materials which
have direct skin contact with the vehicle occupants and
requirements for exterior air filtration are included.
There is debate among the scientific community regarding
potential health effects including allergies to the substances
listed as well as acceptable exposure level. Ford adopts these
guidelines to be consistent, to the extent practicable, with third
party standard setting organizations such as ISO, SAE, DIN, and EN
but does NOT represent them to be a definitive measure of
safety.
