1. SCOPE

This test procedure describes a test to characterise the resistance to handling shocks of the fuel
system parts.

The fuel system (fuel tank assembly, filling pipe, fuel-level sensor, tank cap, immersed assembly,
canister, etc.) must be new and representative to the mass production.

2. PRINCIPLE

The testing part is dropped onto a concrete floor.

3. TESTING FACILITY

Devices used to check the part conformity:

- sealing according to Test Procedure 34-04-802 (for the tank, the filling pipe, tank stopper, level
sensor),

- ohmmeter (for the fuel-level sensor, immersed assembly, petrol pump – with accuracy 10 %),

- electrical power supply V1 capable of delivering a voltage equal to 12 V  0,5 V (for electrical
devices).

- electrical power supply V2, for BLDC pumps, to control PCU.

4. PROCEDURE

4.1. TEST PREPARATION

All the parts must be complied with the RENAULT Engineering Centre specifications at the date of the
test.

In the case of an immersed assembly, measure the minimum and maximum ohm values. Note those
values.

If the parts are sealing parts, then they must be subjected to a leak test.

4.2. PERFORMING THE TEST

Place flat the part and locate its reference position along Z, which is the position 1 (see definition of the
positions in the Appendix 1); the height reference is the lowest point of the part in this position.

Raise the part up to a 70 cm height (see Appendix 1), then drop it on the concrete floor.

Visually examine the part. According to the type of the part, run it according to its normal operating
conditions. For example, for pumps,

 DC pumps, at working pressure, U=12V.

 BLDC pumps, at working pressure and ωpump=ωmax.

Record the appearance of defects or any other changes in the appearance.

In the case of the connecting parts, measure the sealing according to Test Procedure 34-04-802.

In the case of a fuel tank assembly, disassemble the immersed assembly to notice possible defects
such as cracks, rupture, etc.

In the case of an immersed assembly, measure the minimum and maximum ohm values. Note those
values.

4.3. ORIENTATION ACCURACY

Conduct the test on 6 parts in various positions.

The part position in the vehicle is considered as the test initial position defined with the locating axis
X, - X, Y, - Y, Z, - Z (As shown in the appendix 1).The various reference positions are the different
oriented part positions by turning the parts according to the different axis.

5. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS.

The noticed failures (defects or any appearance change) are the visual damages (such as cracking,
rupture, deformation, etc.), changes in the electrical circuit, modification in the operating conditions,
etc.

6. TEST REPORT

In addition to the results obtained, the test report (see model in annex 2) shall include :

- the reference of this test procedure, with the indication of the version(A,B,C,…)

- a definition of the tested part,

- the details of the unexpected procedures which are not specified in this testing procedure and
also any incidents which might have affected the results.

7. SELF COMPETENCE

7.1. TEST IMPACT ON PART

This is a destructive test.

7.2. CORRELATION SYSTEM

The Supplier performs the test on 6 parts.

RENAULT performs the same test on 6 other parts.

7.3. CORRELATION LEVEL

- If the measurement uncertainties ±U ref, ±U lab, are known in both laboratories, the
measurements of 2 laboratories must fill the operating conditions given below, based on ISO 43

X
 1, avec :
Uréf ²  Ulab²
. X = difference between reference laboratory measurements and the measurements of the
audited laboratory.

. Uref = Reference laboratory uncertainty.

. Ulab = Audited laboratory uncertainty.

- If the uncertainty on the measurement is unknown, the global standard deviation –calculated with
the sum of the reference laboratory values with the audited laboratory values- mustn’t be higher
than the standard deviation of the reference laboratory.
