Standard Overview

LV 124 is a quality and reliability test standard jointly established by German automotive manufacturers in 2013. This standard covers tests for electric and electronic components for use in motor vehicles 

The standard consists of Part I: electrical requirements and tests and Part II: environmental requirements and tests.

LV 124 is required for all supplies of German OEMs.

Espec provides products that perform tests that are unique to LV124, including condensation tests with assemblies and life/temperature cycle tests.
