MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS
Foreword:
The list of the technical characteristics to be checked on parts must be given according to following straight edge:
1. To break up the part into elementary components. (example for an EPS: housing + reduction gear +
connection box + …)
2. For each element, to respect the requirements of the STL or specific standard if it exists.
3. In all the cases, to respect each requirement of the signaling station below, except if there is already one in
the functional schedule of conditions of part (ST, STN, functional drawing…).
BMPV/1V5_EPS_TS_SYSTEM_164 : Technical characteristics on parts
For all parts in TP, TD, TPE or rubber, the supplier shall guaranty the absence of defects coming from material
processing.
Acceptability criteria
Absence of surface defects: shrinkage, cracks, grilled, bubbles, lack of material, pollution, etc.
Porosity level (or bubble for rubbers)
The acceptance criteria for the porosity level will be validated by the PSA material department, considering
the severity of the element (complexity and mechanical loading).
In any case, even if the component responds to its function, the following defects are unacceptable:
- Porosity size >= 500 µm
- More than 20% of the thickness affected by porosities.
- Porosity shape too elongated (length / width > 4)
Absence of internal defects: welded line mark, pollution, cluster of fillers, traces of flows, etc.
Weight : Differences between parts shall be lower than 5% (i.e. 2,5 % compared to the average value)
Hardness : according to ISO 48 or D10 5010
During the whole serial production phase, the supplier must supply parts with an internal integrity being
better or at least equivalent to the integrity of the validation parts.
The tested element shall keep its integrity after the test :
- Absence of aspect change or deformation.
- Comply with the dimensional tolerances defined on the functional drawing.
- After the test, the component must remain functional and the rupture level with impact testing must
remain the same.
The tested element shall keep its integrity after the test :
- Absence of cracks upon observation with magnifying binocular glass (X10).
- After the test, the component must remain functional.
METALIC MATERIALS

compliance with PSA Standard B20 0050
These couples shall be measured in compliance with the standard D13 5510
The efforts indicated in the test sheet correspond to the most critical vehicle (MTAC_Av Maximum, Maximal
pneumatic fit). PSA can provide, if the supplier requests it, other effort values to adjust the validation plan to the
EPS declination.
Before and after each test sheet, all EPS have to checked by DTC reading : EPS shall be functional without any
modification of the electric and electronic characteristic.
During each test, the supplier shall store the electrical data (Voltage at the end of the harness, and Intensity
consumption of the ESP) related to time.
Midpoint: this is the middle of the rack travel. To determine it, the operator has to measure the total travel (+/- 1

o Cc > 6.5 Nm admissible 0.7 Nm
o A maximum right/left dissymmetry of +/-0.3 Nm is allowed.
For a given output force, the dissymmetry value is determined by : (left column torque –
right column torque)/2

endurance test of bloc diagram type should validate the components.
The tests validate the tie rod (on housing side) and ball joint (on knuckle side) assemblies.

o For an effort FB equal to an effort F2 with a tolerance of +/-15% (linked to the VC2) :
the tie rod has to deform from a target length variation, architecture data (l2) – this length
variation has to be sufficiently visible to involve a replacement of the assembled tie rod.
the assemblies still have to exist (no steering tie rod breakage)

At calculation, these life situations can be tackled with elastic and plastic approaches.
Note: The effort FA is more than 25% higher than the Curb push away Effort Allows to have a reliable design of
the fuse part.
It is necessary to consider the 2 Steering Tie rod operating directions (traction & compression), particularly for the
Validation Tests.
To ensure a survivability of the result, it is necessary to test a minimal number of parts. For a reliable determination
of the tie rod resistance, the number of parts which have to be tested:
o 3 parts in Prototype Phase
o 9 parts in VRS Phase (by doing a parts selection in order to test 3 batches of 3 different parts according
to one or many decisive product or process parameters for the Tie Rod impact resistance, such as the
material spread / the rod diameter / … )
Note: PSA can provide the data of the same type for the Knuckle.
