Testing of RaceChip Modules<\/strong>
\nAll RaceChip modules are subject to certain test methods at regular intervals.<\/p>\n

Temperature resistance<\/strong>
\nRaceChip modules can be exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations during driving operation. Its proper function during permanent operation is guaranteed between -20 \u00b0C and + 135 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Shock resistance<\/strong>
\nIndependent tests prove: Even hard shocks (up to 500\/min) do not affect the function of the RaceChip Chiptuning module at all.<\/p>\n

Winter performance<\/strong>
\nRoad salt affects each electronic equipment heavily. It can even be destroyed permanently. All current RaceChip Chiptuning modules are protected against road salt, so that damages on the electronic equipment are excluded. During the test aggressive salt is sprayed on the modules around the clock for ten days. Only after the module batch has successfully passed this test, it will be delivered.<\/p>\n

EMC E13 Testing method<\/strong>
\nThe electromagnetic compatibility of the RaceChip Chiptuning module in road traffic is mad sure with these tests.<\/p>\n

CE-Marking<\/strong>
\nThe CE-marking on all RaceChip Chiptuning modules confirms: All safety requirements of the EU are completely observed.<\/p>\n
