Many products are exposed to environmental influences such as vibrations and mechanical impact during transport or operation. Very often, products also have to withstand thermal influences, humidity or excessive solar radiation.
By simulating changing environmental influences, cetecom advanced’s environmental testing laboratory can verify whether components meet the necessary conformity requirements in terms of safety and functionality. Environmental testing can be performed on almost any industrial material and is important for companies in all sectors, whether automotive, consumer electronics, medical or household appliances.
Our service portfolio
The environmental testing center of cetecom advanced is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and offers a range of state-of-the-art test equipment to test the durability, long-term behavior and aging effects of a product under various simulated conditions.
We perform testing according to international standards or customer-specific standards, which include the standards of many automotive manufacturers. Our environmental simulation testing services include a variety of disciplines.
In our cetecom advanced laboratory we offer climate tests according to a large number of standards:
Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art measuring facilities and our climatic chambers allow tests
of test specimens of various sizes under a wide range of conditions.
Here is an overview of our climatic chambers with different sizes and temperature ranges
– applicable for testing electronic components, devices and systems:
In this environment, we can perform temperature shock tests, intergas atmosphere tests, dewing tests,
and thermal cycling tests, among others, at up to 10 k/min under standard conditions, < 10s under shock conditions.
Our laboratory equipment also allows us to perform tests under the influence of vibrations and shock.
We are accredited to perform these tests according to the following standards:
Test specimens with a mass of up to 1,600 kg can be tested in our shakers,
taking into account the following parameters:
The following test scopes can be performed:
The crash and shock test stand is located in a fire-protected area and can be used universally, including for critical test items such as batteries and airbags. Test items weighing up to 600 kg can be tested there at speeds of up to 70 km/h and a maximum of 70 times the acceleration due to gravity.
In addition to real crash tests, we can also perform tests with positive acceleration and negative acceleration (defined deceleration).
The walk-in salt spray chamber can be used to simulate corrosion behavior when exposed to salty air, salty mist or salt spray.
This test method allows the simulation of an air cargo under vacuum conditions. Space applications can also be tested.
This is a procedure for classifying the degrees of protection of electrical equipment.
It concerns the ingress of foreign objects, dust or water.
Testing of protection against different types of water according to valid standards:
Testing of protection against dust with different types of dust according to IP1X-6X:
Environmental testing also includes sun simulation testing, for products that are directly or indirectly exposed to the sun.

We are happy to record test results for you with a high-speed camera, which result from crash tests,
shock or vibration tests and cannot be captured by the human eye.
