IEC 60068 Environmental Testing Certification

The IEC 60068 series of standards is internationally recognized and widely used in the testing industry to ensure that products, components, and systems are capable of withstanding environmental stresses without compromising their performance or integrity. This certification focuses on assessing how equipment behaves under extreme conditions such as temperature cycling, humidity, altitude, shock, vibration, and other environmental factors.

Environmental testing is a critical part of product development, design validation, and quality assurance in various sectors including electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and consumer goods. Compliance with IEC 60068 not only ensures that products meet global standards but also enhances brand reputation by demonstrating robustness against real-world conditions.

At our laboratory, we offer comprehensive environmental testing services based on the latest versions of IEC 60068-1 through -34. Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced technical staff provide accurate results that are essential for manufacturers to make informed decisions about their product development process.

The tests conducted under this certification typically involve subjecting specimens to controlled environmental conditions designed to replicate actual usage scenarios. This helps identify potential weaknesses early in the design cycle, enabling corrections before mass production begins. By understanding these stresses beforehand, manufacturers can improve reliability and safety while reducing costs associated with post-production failures.

Our team follows strict adherence to international standards such as IEC 60068-1 (General requirements), IEC 60068-2-13 (Temperature cycling tests), IEC 60068-2-45 (Humidity tests), and many others. Each test has specific acceptance criteria which are strictly followed during execution.

Environmental testing plays a vital role in ensuring that products function correctly across diverse operating environments worldwide. It ensures compliance with local regulations while promoting uniformity through internationally accepted practices. Understanding the environmental demands on your product is crucial for successful market entry and long-term success.
