1. SCOPE
This specification defines the minimum durability requirements of all thermal, foam gasket and sound
absorption/insulation applications, where various materials are combined to provide an assembly having
thermal and/or acoustical (sound absorption/barrier/insulation) and/or functional features. This includes
interior passenger, luggage compartment, engine compartment and underbody thermal and/or
acoustical (sound absorbing/barrier/ insulation) parts. This document also includes high temperature
applications such as exhaust shields. In addition, ultra high temperature parts exposed to heat from
turbochargers, EGR systems and exhaust pipes are also included.
2. APPLICATION
This specification was released originally for materials used as interior, luggage compartment, engine
compartment and underbody thermal and/or sound absorbing insulators.

3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS
Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Company's Standard Requirements
for Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A).
3.2 FINISHED PART REQUIREMENTS
Detailed part construction must be submitted along with test data. Design Verification (DV) is
done on the material and Product Verification Testing (PV) is done on production parts. DV/PV
and sample sizes are defined in Table 1.
In addition to the following minimum requirements, production assemblies must withstand
normal handling during shipping, installation, use, and service, without tearing, breaking, or
permanently deforming. Specific sampling areas may be required; these will be highlighted on
