    Business Challenge
    Products failing to perform reliably in their intended working environment gain a high profile from time to time with television programs and newspaper reports frequently highlighting products which are unreliable in the field. Everyone experiences products that do not have the durability expected of them, generating a resolve not to make the same purchasing mistake twice. Brand reputations are won or lost through environmental performance, and performance costs. Manufacturers and retailers are now offering three- or five-year warranties, and there is a growing customer demand for 25 years’ fault-free service in applications where access for maintenance and repair is difficult.

    Solution
    What is Environmental Simulation Testing?

    To remain competitive, as a manufacturer or as a retailer/importer sourcing private label products, you will be looking to extend your warranty terms and to ensure your products will function effectively over its expected life. The cost of the environmental testing necessary to support an extended warranty can be set against the cost of failures in the field and loss of reputation. And if you design in environmental requirements right at the product design stage, you stand a greater chance of a better product, faster to market, with much lower costs of design corrections. Our Environmental Simulation capabilities include:

      - extremely high and low temperatures
      - large, swift variations in temperature
      - blowing and settling sand and dust
      - salt spray and salt fog
      - very high or low humidity
      - wet environments
      - fungus
      - vibrations (airborne and structural)
      - accelerations
      - solar radiation
      - high and low pressures (especially for aeronautical and space equipment)

    What are the key benefits?

      - Demonstrate by way of an independent test report to your clients and authorities that your product is compliant with Environmental requirements
      - Reduce field failures
      - Ensure the packaging you use is fit for purpose and your product will arrive in functional condition
      - Environmental consultants can advise on designing environmental considerations into your future products
      - Save on investing heavily in Environmental test equipment, calibration, accreditations and staffing by outsourcing to a global leader in compliance solutions

    Our Approach

    Complying with customers’ expectations is a critical issue when looking to launch your product on the global marketplace. Understanding the myriad of regulations and client requirements that affect your product in your target market is key to this success. Our testing process begins with understanding the product from your point-of-view; where will the product be marketed, who will use the product, what are your performance, quality and reliability expectations?

    The answers help us to identify the regulatory barriers and to develop a rationalized Environmental Test plan for your product in your target markets, saving you from retesting for each market you will be selling into. Consequently, the appropriate testing is performed so you can sell, manufacture, or distribute your product anywhere in the world (in your target countries) with confidence.
