Product Testing

We strongly recommend developing a test plan at the very start of the design process. It is an integral part of our design process and ensures that your product will deliver on what it is designed to do.

Testing can cover an enormous range of things. Some of the more popular include:

• Weather resistance/water-proofing
• Dust resistance
• HALT and HASS testing (life testing of products) that helps to identify the reliability of the various elements of the design over the product’s expected life time
• Vibration testing and analysis
• Impact testing
• Electronic compliance is also tested via third-party experts

We will work with you to gather information as to the kind of testing that will be appropriate for your product. Testing then occurs all the way through the product’s design and development - from the virtual CAD environment through prototyping and manufacture. As the product design process progresses, the tests get more specific and less tolerant of failure to ensure that the finished product is reliable, robust and fit for purpose.
