These tests are essential for guaranteeing that consumer products deliver accurate and reliable data, thereby enhancing user trust and satisfaction. Inaccurate sensors can lead to errors in applications like navigation systems, fitness trackers, and health monitoring devices.
Our testing process involves a series of steps aimed at evaluating the performance of various sensors within small devices. Initially, we perform pre-test calibration using high-precision instruments to ensure that all measuring tools are accurate. Next, we expose the device under test (DUT) to controlled environments and conditions that simulate real-world usage scenarios. This approach helps us assess how well the sensors function across a range of environmental factors.
During testing, we utilize specialized equipment designed specifically for small devices, such as high-accuracy temperature chambers, vibration analyzers, and pressure simulators. These instruments allow us to subject the DUT to various stresses and conditions that it might encounter in use. We monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) like sensitivity, repeatability, linearity, and drift over time.
Following testing, we generate detailed reports outlining our findings. These reports include graphs, tables, and charts illustrating the sensor’s behavior under different conditions. Compliance with relevant standards such as IEC 62384 for medical devices or IEC 60950-1 for electrical equipment is verified through these tests. Our team of experts provides comprehensive analysis based on international guidelines to ensure that all aspects of sensor performance are addressed.
