Mechanical

A product is during its life (transport and/or in use) subject to different negative influences.

Mechanical tests

i.e.:
– Vibrations
– Mechanical shocks
– Impact

The BGEMC lab has the necessary infrastructure and expertise to execute mechanical tests.

Applications

– Information Technology Equipment (ITE)
– Medical devices and appliances
– Laboratory and measuring equipment
– Automotive
– Agricultural vehicles
– Household
– Marine
– Wireless applications
– Military
– Aviation
– …

Standards

The table below gives an overview of the standards according to which the BGEMC lab can test.
However, this is only a limited list. Do not hesitate to contact us for any specific question.

Operating procedure
1. Full compliant testing
In case a product fails during the full compliant test an acceptable solution will be looked for, possibly we can switch free of charge to pre-compliant testing.

2. Advice: In case more in-depth research is required advice of an independent expert can be appealed to.

3. Pre-compliant testing
Appropriate for testing a prototype.
Tests are executed using the same calibrated equipment and by the same skilled test engineers.
