Edit: I've only read briefly some of the correspondence between VW Audi Group and Robert Bosch... this goes back to 2008... problems with the micron size of "dirt" (don't know how that translates from German to English in manufacturing procedures, but you don't want "dirt' or grit or particulate matter inside your assembled parts.
particle sizes were broken down to <50 micron, 50-100 100-200 200-400 micron, 400-600 micron size "dirt' found in assembly. Some of the "dirt consisted of FeP and JhP, which I assume are elements, but I've no idea what Jh is on the Periodic Element Table in german? Seems Audi VW was demanding finer dirt particle size restrictions in manufacturing... and Fe P would be iron with a phosphorous ion alloy blend?
Lots of reading, someone with more chemical and mfg backround than me in precision finishes, coating and parts needs to have a read on this VW file
