The Elastocon EB 03 Windscreen Fogging Tester is a device that determines the fogging of
car windshields. It complies with ISO 6452, SAE J1756, and other automotive standards. It
has an integrated heating and cooling bath, and complete accessories can be supplied to
meet various automotive standards.
The fogging characteristics of all the materials used in a vehicle's interior can be tested
with this device. This includes the amount of volatile components that have evaporated from
textiles, leather, PVC, and other polymeric materials. Fogging primarily occurs on the front
windshield because it is colder than the rest of the glass in the vehicle, causing the evaporated
materials to condense in a high concentration. To ensure driving safety and clear visibility
through the windshield, it is important to keep fogging to a minimum.
In addition to the international standards mentioned, several major vehicle manufacturers follow
their own standards.
