CAPA 501 Part Testing
CAPA 501 TESTING
CAPA’s comprehensive scope of testing requirements for the CAPA 501 Standard includes the specification that bumper parts go through CAPA’s full part dynamic crash or quasi-static tests. This full part stress testing, conducted on every part number submitted for certification will further demonstrate true comparability of the aftermarket part to the car company brand service part. The CAPA program also requires comprehensive post-certification inspection and marketplace monitoring.
