Humidity, cold, heat, sun, liquids of all kinds... just some of the environmental constraints which your equipment is liable to face.
Climate resistance and physical-chemical tests are key components of the environmental testing and certification process.
Together they form a family of tests which are a vital counterpart to the usual mechanical environmental tests.
Heat, cold, humidity, rapid temperature variation,... accelerate the climatic ageing of your products and check their resistance and good functioning.
Corrosion tests simulate exposure to aggressive atmospheric conditions such as those found on sea shores (salt corrosion), in industrial environments or polluted zones.
IP: degree of protection against access to dangerous parts and the ingress of foreign solids - degree of water penetration.
IK: degree of resistance of materials to mechanical shocks
These tests concern all equipment likely to come into contact with generally fluid contaminants, during normal use or in an accidental situations.
Thermal shocks reveal mechanical weaknesses of electronic components
Critical in aeronautics, marine and more generally in transport, fire and flammability tests (flammability, smoke opacity, heating and similar) are also the subject of requirements when marketing new products.
Equipment exposed to the solar radiation will degrade
The sand and dust blowing testing is intended for on-board equipment that encounters dust conditions likely to damage them, disturb their operation, their communications...
High altitude variations or rapid decompression can damage equipment or disturb its operation, communications...
Tests to verify the absence of explosion triggering in explosive atmospheres.
