Your Toolkit of Superpowers
YOUR REQUIREMENTS ARE OUR MISSION
In the automotive industry, safety depends largely on the reliability of electrical components. Sensors, control units, relays, and connectors must function flawlessly under extreme conditions for years on end.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE WE COME IN
We test electrical components under realistic and standards-compliant conditions long before they are used in vehicles. Our tests ensure safety by identifying risks early on and laying the foundation for robust, long-lasting products. Not spectacular, but reliable. That is our strength.

TESTING CAPABILITIES FOR REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES
- ELECTRICAL TESTS
Insulation, breakdown, short-circuit behavior, and continuous current load - CLIMATIC TESTS
Temperature cycling, humidity exposure, corrosion, and salt spray - MECHANICAL TESTS
Vibration and shock testing on our high-performance shaker system (up to approx. 40 kN sine force, 80 kN shock force, and 2,500 Hz), complemented by flexural and tensile strength testing. Combined vibration and climatic testing is also possible using our environmental chamber ranging from −70 °C to +180 °C. - IP AND LEAK TESTING
Protection against water, dust, and environmental influences
This is how we ensure that your components function reliably even under the most demanding conditions.
MAXIMUM LOAD.
MAXIMUM RELIABILITY.
How reliably do components perform under extreme operating conditions?
With our new shaker system, we simulate intense vibrations, mechanical shocks, and dynamic stresses—optionally combined with temperatures ranging from −70 °C to +180 °C.
The added value for our customers: Potential weaknesses are detected early in the development phase, costly field failures and warranty claims can be reduced, and engineering processes can be systematically optimized. By combining mechanical and climatic loads, we deliver conclusive test data that helps enhance product quality, minimize development risks, and reliably validate market readiness.
A STEP AHEAD OF THE TIMES
Accelerated aging is not an experiment, but a strategic advantage. For example, you can determine early on whether your electrical components are still insulating, whether they are corroding, or whether the components can withstand a climatic test. Development times are shortened, risks become apparent before they become costly, and your product gains in reliability.
This ability to anticipate problems is not magic. It is the result of experience, compliance with standards, and precise testing technology.
STANDARDS AS THE FOUNDATION FOR RELIABLE RESULTS
Precise testing requires clear rules. That is why we consistently adhere to international standards and OEM specifications.
They form the foundation of our work:
-
VW 80000/VDA - Service life, insulation, material resistance
-
LV124/MBN 50306 & MBN 10567 – Stress and extreme condition tests for cables, sensors, and control units
- ISO 16750-2 & -3 – Environmental and electrical test conditions for road vehicles
- IEC 60529/IP Tests – Protection against dust and water
Experience, methodology, and state-of-the-art testing technology work together seamlessly to deliver reliable, comparable, and meaningful results.
