Context

In modern vehicle manufacturing, the technical cleanliness of components and sub-assemblies is an important functional quality criterion.
The VDA 19.1 manual, ‘Technical Cleanliness Testing – Particulate Contamination of Functional Automotive Components’, deals in detail with the methods and procedures used to characterise the cleanliness of products in the automotive industry.
The VDA 19 manual was first introduced by VDA QMC in 2005 and has been available in a fully revised and expanded form under the title VDA 19.1 since 2015.
The third, fully revised edition was published in 2026, incorporating the latest extraction techniques and methods to adapt to new technologies in on-board equipment, the challenges of electromobility, high-voltage systems, sensors and driver assistance systems, which are far more sensitive to particulate contamination than traditional mechanical components.

This refresher training course is a prerequisite for continuing to carry out cleanliness inspections in accordance with VDA 19.1 (2026).
As a licensed partner, EUROSYMBIOSE is qualified to deliver this accredited training course.

This refresher course covers only the new features and changes introduced in the 2026 edition compared with the 2015 edition. Participants must therefore be familiar with the requirements of the 2015 edition of VDA 19.1.

Objectives

  • Understand the new extraction methods for removing particles from components
  • Understand the analytical methods for assessing particulate contamination
  • Validate cleanliness monitoring using shake-off tests and blank tests
  • Document cleanliness specifications and monitoring protocols

Recommanded for

  • Individuals responsible for carrying out cleanliness inspections in the automotive sector and at component suppliers, or as service providers, who have successfully completed the ‘Technical Cleanliness Inspector in accordance with VDA 19.1’ or ‘Qualified Technical Cleanliness Assistant in accordance with VDA 19.1’ training course.
  • System, customer and production quality engineers, as well as process auditors (in-house or supplier)qualified in the 2015 version

Specific operating conditions for remote sessions

  • Have a PC equipped with a microphone, a webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: wallpapers are available on Zoom or Teams to hide the background.
  • Have a good Internet connection, which should be tested before the session.
  • Settle down in a quiet, isolated place; set yourself to “unavailable” status on Teams; close your email access, and mute your phone, so as not to be disturbed during the session.
  • Participants from the same organisation should not be grouped together in the same room, but each at their own desk.
  •  The end-of-course knowledge test must be taken with your webcam and microphone turned on. We may need to verify that you are alone in the room.
