Key Benefits One location for environmental and mechanical testing with failure analysis laboratory Expertise from customer electronics to industrial, medical and military equipment Testing experts with cross disciplinary know-how Support for scoping of testing needs and standards One-stop-shop for environmental testing Our test facilities cover a wide range of generic and specific product standard tests for various customer needs. Testing is always an investment but worth every penny. Environmental testing need comes as a requirement from authorities e.g. in case of maritime, aviation, railway or road vehicle applications. Whereas in the rest of the cases, it brings reliability for the end users and product manufacturers. For example, if thorough tests are not conducted for consumer products, there is a chance for substantial number of warranty claims, resulting in unnecessary costs. Regarding industrial electronics, the volumes are low but the devices are often used in business critical functions. Therefore, if there is a fault, repairs themselves can be costly or it can paralyze a whole factory. To avoid these risks, it makes pure business sense to test the reliability and robustness of the product. With our Environmental Testing services and dedicated test equipment, we can subject the devices and products to different climates and climate changes, humidity, wearing, vibration, UV-light, chemicals, mechanical impacts and other aspect simulating usage environments around the world. We also conduct tests for humidity and dust as well as protection against access to hazardous parts. Boost environmental testing with safety analysis Our competence from both product safety and environmental testing methods enables us to deliver added value. We combine both worlds and assist in determining what should be tested and at which severity. We will inform you if we notice any possible issue even if the test result would satisfy the test requirement that is currently evaluated. For example, impact test, required by product specification, may be passed, but if we know that safety standard requires higher impact energy that was used in test, we will inform our customer. We of course provide the possibility to the re-test with additional requirements.
