The Importance of Environmental Testing for Product Reliability

Can your product withstand the exposure of the intended environment ? Environmental testing helps to simulates the different climatic condition & mechanical stress a product can subject to undergo during their lifetime. Also it help to simulate the lifecycle environments that are encountered by the product. The reliability & longevity of the product can be checked through environmental testing.

Environmental chambers are designed to create artificial environment under closed chamber. Nemko India has a state-of-the-art laboratory to test your products for mechanical stress & environmental conditions along with lifecycle tests. Environmental testing help to know if there are any weaknesses in a product’s design or performance that could occur particularly at extreme levels. It also provides you with an opportunity to judge the causes of failure. With the harmonization of national and international standards, environmental testing requirements are becoming increasingly mandatory for product categories in the marine, aviation, transportation, military industries and more. We test according to relevant international & national standards including MIL  STD, defense standards ( JSS 55555, JS 50101) and telecommunication equipment as per QM-333. We offer pre-evaluation of your products by testing in our in-house lab facility and testing via our customer programs. IEC 60068 offers appropriate severities and mentions various environmental conditions for measurement in each test method.

Our climatic testing facilities include the following but not limited to:

1. Vibration (Sinusoidal & Random) ( variable frequencies)
2. Mechanical shock testing
3. Temperature testing
4. Humidity testing
5. Drop test
6. Fall test
7. Topple test
8. Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)
9. Degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against external mechanical impacts (IK code)
10. Damp Heat cyclic
11. Dry heat cycle or high temperature 
12. Cold cycle or low temperature
13. Rapid temperature cycle
14. Thermal shock test
15. Tropical exposure
16. High voltage test
17. Insulation resistance test

Basic Documents requirements :

1. Service manual, operation manual
