Test Facility | EMC Chamber | Thermal Shock | Climatic | Ingress | IP69K

Our purpose-built EMC chamber is one of the largest privately owned facilities of its kind in the UK, providing confidence testing for both emissions and immunity. EMC testing ensures products can operate reliably within their intended electromagnetic environment without causing or suffering interference.

Capabilities include:

• CISPR 25 compliant automotive testing
• Radiated emissions testing up to 8GHz (chamber performance to 18GHz)
• Radiated immunity testing up to 200V/m at 1m
• Conducted immunity testing up to 200mA
• Frequency range from 200kHz to 3.2GHz
• Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) measurement technology for rapid analysis

Environmental testing validates product performance under real-world operating conditions and accelerated stress environments.

Climatic Testing

Multiple environmental chambers provide controlled testing across extreme temperature and humidity conditions.

Capabilities include:

• Temperature range from -70°C to +180°C
• Controlled humidity testing
• Long-duration environmental exposure
• Validation of seals, adhesives, potting compounds, and electronic assemblies

Thermal Shock Testing

Rapid thermal cycling identifies weaknesses caused by sudden temperature changes.

Capabilities include:

• Temperature transition rates up to 60°C per minute
• Independent hot and cold chambers
• Automated transfer between temperature zones
• Typical test ranges from -80°C to +220°C

Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT)

HALT testing exposes products to extreme thermal and vibration stresses to identify design weaknesses early in development.

Capabilities include:

• Temperature range from -100°C to +200°C
• Thermal ramp rates up to 60°C per minute
• Vibration up to 50G

Our vibration and shock testing systems simulate years of operational stress within compressed test cycles. These tests help validate product reliability in demanding environments, including automotive, off-highway, and industrial applications.

Capabilities include:

• Vibration testing up to 50G
• Payloads up to 50kg
• Frequency range from 5Hz to 4,000Hz
• Shock and bump testing
• Mechanical durability verification
