Articles from the newsletter that cover the basics of accelerated stress testing. For a list of standards for various tests, visit the Testing Standards page.

Thermal Shock Testing

Thermal shock tests products for their durability against extreme temperature deltas over a short period of time. [Read more]

Sand and Dust Testing

Dust ingress tests products for their resilience to micro-particles entering the product and interfering with its functionality.  [Read more]

Rain, Splash, and Drip Testing

Otherwise known as water ingress testing, this tests products for their resistance to fluids entering the product or damaging the outer surface/enclosure. [Read more]

Battery Testing

Battery testing puts batteries through accelerated temperature and humidity stress tests with specialized safety measures. [Read more]

Autoclave: LCD Panel Defoaming

Autoclaves (also called sterilizing chambers) for LCD panel defoaming remove air bubbles from LCD panels that appear in the manufacturing phase. [Read more]

Salt and Fog Testing

Salt and fog testing verifies the rust corrosion resistance of a product’s surface coating with salt solution spray.  [Read more]

UV Testing

UV testing simulates long-term sunlight exposure on products to determine their durability against UV radiation and resistance to corrosion. [Read more]

Vibration Testing

Vibration testing applies random or sinusoidal frequency mechanical shocks to a test specimen to simulate real world vibrations and their impact on performance.
