Climatic Testing

  • Printer-friendly version

There are several extreme climatic scenarios that are quite relevant for many products, whether they occur during operation, transport or storage. In industrial, marine, oil or train/subway environments products are constantly subject to harsh environments and extreme climatic conditions.

The Nemko reliability laboratory has a series of climatic/temperature rooms and chambers for testing products and material behavior sunder different extreme climatic conditions. Fully accredited testing is available for most standards.

The effects of temperature and humidity over a wide range of combinations and levels can be simulated according to IEC 60068-2-series.

We test according to relevant product standards and specifications, for example:

  • IEC 60721-series
  • ETS 300 019
  • IEC 60945
  • Maritime Classification Society specifications

Nemko also provides guidance in identifying the appropriate set of standards and severity levels for your product.
