What Is SAE Testing for Engines?

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is an international body originally established in the United States in 1905 to create uniform standards for the dozens of automobile manufacturers active in the early decades of the 20th century.

Engine Standards

    The SAE maintains 683 standards for engines, in nine different categories. Testing of several varieties of engines are conducted, including diesel and electric engines.

Fuels and Energy Sources

    The SAE defines 119 standards for fuels and lubricants used in automotive engines, including alternative fuel sources such as those used in hybrid engines. The SAE tests engines for fuel consumption rates as well.

Quality, Durability and Safety

    The SAE also maintains many basic standards related to engine performance, including engine noise, reliability and many safety factors as well.
