LP-463KB-06-01 is a Chrysler / FCA US / Stellantis laboratory procedure used to evaluate the wear (abrasion) resistance of automotive soft trim materials. It is commonly specified for interior trim validation where surface appearance and durability under repeated rubbing are critical.

LP-463KB-06-01 — Wear Resistance of Soft Trim Materials (Wyzenbeek / oscillatory abrasion)
This standard is typically used as an OEM-required wear test for soft trim surfaces such as upholstery fabrics and related interior material constructions. It is often referenced in supplier validation and PPAP-style documentation packages where a specific abrasion method and reporting format are required.
Because LP documents are private OEM procedures, details such as evaluation criteria and the exact setup requirements depend on the cited revision and any program-specific requirement documents that call it up.
Quick Definition
LP-463KB-06-01 is an automotive OEM wear-resistance procedure for soft trim materials, commonly executed on a Wyzenbeek (oscillatory) abrasion tester and reported in cycles (double rubs) to a defined endpoint.
What This Standard Covers
LP-463KB-06-01 focuses on surface wear from repeated rubbing under controlled loading and motion. The intent is to create a repeatable laboratory abrasion exposure that can be used to compare materials, constructions, finishes, or lots against an internal requirement.
Typical reported outcome: Cycles (often called double rubs) to an endpoint such as visible wear, appearance change, or another criterion defined by the OEM requirement package.
Why This Standard Matters in Testing
Wear resistance is closely tied to perceived quality in seats, door panels, consoles, and other occupant-touch surfaces. Using the cited LP procedure helps keep supplier-to-supplier results consistent and supports apples-to-apples comparison when materials are sourced across multiple programs or manufacturing sites.
Practical caution: Abrasion outcomes can be highly sensitive to abrading media selection, specimen tensioning, applied load, and the endpoint definition—so matching the called-up LP revision and any OEM addenda matters as much as the machine itself.
Common Materials, Product Types, or Applications Covered
LP-463KB-06-01 is most often associated with automotive interior soft trim and similar occupant-contact surfaces.
- Woven and knitted upholstery fabrics
- Coated fabrics and laminated constructions used in trim covers
- Interior trim skins or soft-touch coverings where rubbing wear is a concern
Common Test or Verification Workflow
Most labs run this as a controlled abrasion exposure followed by a defined inspection and report-out.
Common workflow: Condition specimens (as required) → mount and tension the specimen on an oscillatory abrasion tester → run a specified number of cycles (or to endpoint) with the specified abrading media → evaluate wear/appearance → document cycles and observations in the required reporting format.
Common lab outputs: Cycles completed, pass/fail (if criteria are provided elsewhere), and qualitative notes or graded appearance results when required by the calling specification.
Equipment Commonly Used for This Standard
LP-463KB-06-01 is commonly performed using a Wyzenbeek (oscillatory) abrasion tester configured for repeatable stroke motion and controlled loading.
Common equipment: Wyzenbeek abrasion tester (oscillatory), specimen clamps and tensioning provisions, calibrated load weights, specified abrading media (as called out by the requirement), cycle counter/controls, and inspection lighting/magnification suitable for evaluating wear endpoints.
If you are specifying a system for OEM trim abrasion work and need the right station count, loading range, and media/fixture package, you can request a detailed quote for a configuration matched to your lab workflow.
How to Read This Designation or Revision
LP-463KB-06-01 is an OEM laboratory procedure identifier (LP document number) used by Chrysler / FCA US / Stellantis. The designation is typically cited exactly as written in drawings, material specifications, or supplier test plans.
Revision sensitivity: OEM procedures may be updated without the public revision-history conventions seen in ISO/ASTM documents. When quoting equipment or validating historical results, match the exact revision and any program-specific requirement documents that reference LP-463KB-06-01.
Related Standards, Methods, or Frameworks when useful
Depending on the OEM program, abrasion or wear requirements for trim materials may also be referenced using other common abrasion methods (for example, Taber abrasion or other automotive OEM abrasion procedures). When multiple methods are allowed, confirm which method is contractually required before correlating results across platforms.
