Environmental Reliability Testing

What is Environmental Reliability Testing?

Environmental reliability testing is a series of processes to evaluate the potential for performance degradation and failure of components under extreme environmental conditions, thereby ensuring product lifespan and safety. By conducting various environmental tests such as temperature/humidity, vibration, and salt spray, the durability and reliability of components are verified, and potential design or manufacturing issues are identified in advance to guarantee product quality.

Test Items

  • Mechanical Test

    • Purpose : Simulates vibrations and shocks during automotive operation/assembly to assess component durability against variable acceleration within specific frequency ranges
    • Test Items : Sine vibration, Random vibration, Shock resistance, Impact durability, Drop test
  • Environmental Test

    • Purpose : Simulates various automotive environmental conditions to evaluate durability against thermal aging
    • Test Items : High-temp operation/storage, Low-temp operation/storage, High-temp/humidity durability, Temp cycling (rapid), Temp/humidity cycling, Condensation
  • Special Test

    • Purpose : Simulates environments causing electrical failures (soot, salt, spray, dust) to assess durability
    • Test Items : Gas corrosion, Combined salt spray, Dust ingress, Water spray, Immersion, Airtightness
