Mechanical testing 

Mechanical tests for both electronic and non-electronic products help ensure they are compliant with national and international regulations as well as ensuring that they can continue to operate in real-world conditions. 

Vibration test & measurements

Many industry sectors have product specific vibration test and measurement regulatory requirements, including household products, power tools, industrial machinery, electrical and mechanical equipment.

IP & IK Testing

Comprehensive IP (Ingress Protection) and IK (Impact Protection) testing services, evaluating product resistance to dust, water, and mechanical impact per international standards such IEC 60529.

Acoustic testing 

Acoustic testing is also an important component of regulatory compliance for household appliances, power tools, industrial plants and machines, electrical and mechanical equipment. 

Environmental and performance testing on products and components including equipment, enclosures, cabinets, devices and components for automotive, plastics and rubbers, metals, frames, and handles ensures they’ll stand up to conditions they’ll find in real-world conditions.

Improve Your Product’s Performance

Environmental testing includes both rapid physical stresses and ongoing climatic conditions that can impact a product’s lifespan. We can simulate multiple stressors simultaneously to provide a complete picture of a product's environmental performance.

Testing Solutions Increase Speed-to-Market 

Our testing solutions can take a product through a range of environmental conditions from a single laboratory to verify safety and performance. Work with us to reduce costs, streamline your testing processes and ultimately accelerate time to market.

Global Expertise & Accreditations

With the accreditations to certify products for international markets, we are a leader in mechanical & environmental simulation testing. Third-party verification from Eurofins Electrical & Electronics is trusted around the world helps your product build consumer trust in global marketplaces.

An environmental simulation is the replication of climatic or dynamic conditions that occur in various situations to evaluate the ability of a product, device, or piece of equipment to resist the applied environmental stressors.

Replicating expected environmental stressors is important to prove rugged performance, durability, and life expectancy of equipment to ensure that the components or systems will not fail during the expected environmental conditions in which the equipment will be used.

Examples of common environmental simulations include:

• Impact Resistance
• Drop Testing
• Shock and Vibration
• Temperature Cycling
• Flame Testing
• Fungal Resistance
• Altitude
• Ingress Protection

Environmental Simulations help verify the ruggedness and durability of products and equipment. For products that will be commonly exposed to any of the above stressors, it is important to ensure that they are able to survive and function throughout the exposure without a permanent degradation of performance.

Environmental simulations are used to prove product characteristics like water-proof, rugged, semi-rugged, and resistance to fire/flammability.

Eurofins Electrical & Electronics can perform environmental stress, mechanical stress, extreme climatic conditions, and chemical exposure testing simultaneously, saving valuable time in the product development process.
