Why It Matters
Public standards like ASTM, ISO, and IS cover a lot — but not everything. Automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers often layer their own internal specifications on top: unique pass/fail limits, non-standard sample geometries, combined multi-property sequences, or proprietary environmental profiles that don’t exist in any published standard. Our customized and customer standard testing services exist to close that gap — translating your internal spec sheet into an accredited, repeatable lab protocol, rather than forcing your program into a generic off-the-shelf test.
At Kiyo R&D Lab, our customized and customer standard testing services team works directly from your document — OEM spec, drawing, PPAP requirement, or internal R&D method — and builds a matching test setup, sample fixture, and reporting format, so your validation data speaks your customer’s language, not just a public standard’s.
This service sits alongside our full accredited testing network — mechanical properties testing for structural strength, electrical properties testing for insulation safety, thermal accelerated properties testing for heat durability, chemical corrosion properties testing for rust resistance, degradation properties testing for long-term weathering, and painting coating properties testing for automotive finishes — all coordinated through our material testing laboratory, so any custom protocol can pull from every property domain we cover.
Process
A spec-driven process from your document to an accredited report
STEP 01
Your OEM document or internal method is studied line by line
STEP 02
Test method, fixture, and pass/fail criteria mapped to spec
STEP 03
Fixtures and instruments configured to match requirement
STEP 04
Trial run validates the protocol before full testing begins
STEP 05
Complete test sequence executed on production samples
STEP 06
Formatted to your customer’s exact reporting requirement
Our Services
Eight ways we adapt testing to your exact automotive requirement
SPEC-01
We replicate your automaker’s internal test method exactly as documented, down to sample geometry.
SPEC-02
Sequenced tests across mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties in a single validated protocol.
SPEC-03
Temperature, humidity, and exposure cycles built to match your product’s real deployment climate.
SPEC-04
Custom fixtures machined for irregular or component-specific part shapes that standard rigs can’t hold.
SPEC-05
Compresses years of vehicle service life into weeks of controlled, repeatable lab exposure.
SPEC-06
Acceptance limits calibrated exactly to your customer’s specification, not generic defaults.
SPEC-07
Reports structured to match your customer’s PPAP, APQP, or internal documentation format.
SPEC-08
Custom protocols cross-referenced to regional or export-market regulatory requirements.
Our Edge
We build directly from your OEM spec sheet, not a generic template.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified reports recognized internationally.
Pilot runs scheduled quickly so your validation timeline stays on track.
Specialists who can combine mechanical, thermal, and chemical methods into one custom sequence.
Compliance
Beyond ASTM, ISO, and IS, we build custom protocols around these categories of customer-defined specifications
| Specification Category | What We Do | Typical Source |
|---|---|---|
| OEM Internal Spec | Exact method, fixture & limits replicated from your document | Automaker engineering standard |
| Tier-1 Supplier Spec | Component-level test built to supplier drawing requirement | PPAP / APQP documentation |
| Combined Public Standard | Multiple ASTM/ISO methods sequenced into one custom protocol | Blended internal requirement |
| In-House R&D Method | Your own developed test method validated and executed accurately | Internal engineering team |
| Export / Regulatory Spec | Testing mapped to destination-market compliance requirements | Regional regulatory body |

They’re testing protocols built specifically around a document your customer or OEM provides — rather than a generic published standard — so the test method, fixtures, and pass/fail criteria match exactly what your customer expects.
Ideally your OEM or internal spec document, drawing, or method description. Our team reviews it and confirms the exact protocol, fixtures, and reporting format before starting the pilot run.
Yes — many OEM specs sequence mechanical, thermal, and chemical exposure into a single validation cycle. Since we cover all seven property domains under one roof, we can build and run that full sequence without outsourcing any step.
Timeline depends on complexity — a straightforward spec replication can be scoped within days, while multi-property or custom-fixture protocols may take longer to design and pilot. We’ll confirm an exact timeline once we review your document.
