BQCIS

Verifying Environmental Impact and Acoustic Performance

Vehicle manufacturers must meet increasingly stringent international standards for exhaust emissions and acoustic performance (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness – NVH). Emissions testing ensures compliance with regulatory limits, while NVH testing safeguards comfort, perceived quality, and brand reputation.

BQCIS operates accredited laboratories equipped with advanced chassis dynamometers, climatic chambers, and acoustic facilities. We execute **emissions certification tests** under WLTP, EPA, and GB/T cycles, measuring CO, NOx, hydrocarbons, and particulates for all fuel types, including hybrids.

Our **NVH engineering** services analyze interior and exterior noise and vibration using multi-channel microphones and laser vibrometers. These diagnostics support homologation under UNECE R41/R51 and help manufacturers refine vehicle comfort and acoustic performance.

Key Testing & Verification Activities

Emissions Certification (WLTP & RDE)

Full regulatory emissions testing under **WLTP**, **EPA**, and **GB/T** cycles. We quantify CO, NOx, THC, and particulate emissions in laboratory and **Real Driving Emissions (RDE)** tests using portable PEMS equipment, ensuring compliance under real-world conditions for type approval.

Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH) Testing

Acoustic and vibration testing of interior comfort and exterior pass-by noise in compliance with **UNECE R51**. Our NVH diagnostics identify sources from engines, drivelines, and aerodynamics, supporting vehicle refinement and brand quality optimization.

Key Benefits of NVH & Emissions Testing

Benefit 1

Regulatory Compliance

Ensures full conformity with WLTP, EPA, and UNECE regulations for emissions and external noise certification.

Benefit 2

Enhanced Vehicle Quality

Optimized noise and vibration control improve driver comfort and perceived product quality, especially for EVs and hybrids.

Benefit 3

Accelerated Type Approval

Streamlined emissions and NVH validation shortens certification timelines and speeds up global market entry.

Benefit 4

Independent Verification

Third-party testing by BQCIS demonstrates compliance credibility with regulators and industry partners.

Success Story

NVH Testing Resolves Brake Squeal Issue for OEM

The Challenge:

A leading OEM faced launch delays after pre-production vehicles exhibited high-frequency brake squeal, impacting quality perception.

Our Solution:

BQCIS performed acoustic vibration mapping in a semi-anechoic chamber. Data revealed caliper resonance coupled with pad material stiffness as the root cause.

The Result:

A targeted damping solution eliminated the noise, achieving full NVH compliance and preserving the OEM’s brand reputation before global release.
