Environmental & Reliability Testing
NABL-accredited climatic, mechanical and endurance testing to IS 9000, IEC 60068, MIL-STD-810, JSS 55555, JSS 50101, QM 333, RDSO and EN 50155.
Defence, railway, automotive and power-sector buyers specify environmental tests to prove equipment survives real conditions. Accredited tests include dry heat, cold, damp heat (steady state and cyclic), temperature cycling and thermal shock, vibration, shock and bump, drop and topple, salt mist and salt spray, sand and dust, drip, rain and immersion, low pressure (altitude), and IP and IK enclosure protection.
Material tests such as tensile, yield and elongation to IS 1608, IS 13360 and ASTM methods are also in scope.
