From early-stage development to final product validation, Eurofins’ global testing network helps ensure the environmental durability and functional reliability of your automotive components. We accelerate your path to compliance and market readiness. We test performance and ruggedness under real-world stressors, including temperature extremes, moisture, vibration, salt, UV, and altitude, adhering to major industry standards such as MIL-STD, SAE, IEC, DIN, ASTM, and applicable ECE regulations.
Our custom environmental simulation solutions combine the latest in automated technology and precision-controlled chambers to help you meet aggressive timelines and evolving compliance requirements. Whether you’re assessing resistance to climate cycles, corrosion, mechanical shock, or thermal extremes, our streamlined process supports faster, more reliable product qualification and global market access.
Automotive Environmental & Performance Testing
Vehicle components must endure a wide range of environmental stressors across their service life. Eurofins offers full environmental simulation capabilities to test durability, safety, and functional integrity in extreme conditions.
- Temperature & Humidity Cycling: Simulates long-term exposure to thermal stress, moisture ingress, and condensation.
- Ingress Protection (IPX1–IPX9, IP5X–IP6X): Water and dust ingress testing to validate enclosure integrity in accordance with IEC and ISO standards.
- UV Exposure: Accelerated weathering to assess material degradation due to prolonged sunlight exposure.
- Salt Fog Corrosion: Tests corrosion resistance for components exposed to marine or de-icing environments.
- Acoustics: Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) assessments to measure acoustic behavior and identify potential rattles, squeaks, or hums.
- Altitude Simulation: Evaluates performance at high elevations where reduced atmospheric pressure can affect system function.
- Vibration & Mechanical Shock: Simulates road conditions and transportation stresses to test structural integrity and component fatigue.
- Thermal Vibration: Combined temperature cycling and vibration to represent real-world operating environments.
- Thermal Shock: Assesses material and electronic reliability during abrupt temperature transitions, revealing solder joint and PCB weaknesses.
