Environmental Simulation Testing
A wide range of environmental conditions affect your equipment and products during transportation, storage, and operation. These conditions may change the characteristics of material and the way systems interact.
Through the product development cycle, testing and quality assurance are essential to ensuring safe, quality products are brought to market. Environmental simulation testing ensures your products operate and perform as intended despite environmental conditions and interferences.
At DEKRA, we support manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and their suppliers to launch safer, smarter products. We provide a full range of services across the entire development cycle, serving as a leading source for testing and advisory needs.
Ensuring the quality and performance of your products throughout the product development cycle helps build a strong company, a good reputation, and trust with your customers. Working closely with professionals is essential to get the proper certifications and approvals from key regulatory agencies.
What Is Environmental Simulation Testing?
Environmental simulation testing reproduces certain climatic conditions that could impact a product’s performance or quality. Testing with environmental simulations helps manufacturers and companies assess how products and materials behave. For example, extreme heat, strong winds, altitude, or heavy rains could all impact how materials react or products behave. Thorough environmental simulation testing ensures products can hold up against these conditions.
