Often, a product fails at the time of transportation or during operation or while in storage. Hence, it is essential that such probable causes of failure are taken care of during the design and development phase itself. Reliability tests are a series of repetitive tests that are used to analyse the functionality and breakdown phase of any electrical product under various environmental conditions during transportation, storage, handling and operation. These environmental simulations could include extreme and swift temperature variations, very high or low humidity, wet environments, vibrations (airborne and structural) and accelerations.
Reliability tests help to accelerate the aging process of the product in order to predict its lifecycle and analyse probable future causes of failure. These tests help improve the product‘s design and implement changes at the product developmental stage, thereby improving product quality and life while ensuring customers remain loyal to your product. Reliability tests may be performed at various stages to rectify potential defects - from the prototype to the final production stage basis the manufacturer’s requirement.
