Environmental Testing is the evaluation of a product in conditions which simulate the physical environments that may harm or adversely affect the products performance. Environmental testing can play an important role throughout a product's development cycle to ensure that the materials and manufacturing processes can survive the stresses of the environment in which the product is likely to operate. These environments may include high and low temperatures as well as quickly changing temperatures. Also, temperature humidity environments may also be a factor. Environments with an added media such as dust, ice and freezing rain may also have an adverse effect on products. Listed below are some of Global Testing Services Environmental Testing capabilities
