The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies features advanced environmental testing labs and facilities, offering Consumer Product Age Testing and a variety of other services.
Age Testing for Consumer Products
Consumer Product Age Testing is used to assess the durability of consumer products over time. This type of testing is typically conducted by exposing products to accelerated aging conditions, such as high temperatures, humidity, and UV radiation. We subject materials and products to a wide range of accelerated age testing procedures and methods, with a process that involves:
- Sample Selection: A representative sample of products is selected for testing. The sample size will vary depending on the type of product and the specific requirements of the test.
- Environmental Chamber Preparation: The environmental chamber is prepared by setting the temperature, humidity, and UV radiation levels to the desired conditions.
- Product Exposure: The products are placed in the environmental chamber and exposed to the desired conditions for a predetermined period of time, ranging in duration from hours to weeks.
- Product Evaluation: The products are evaluated for changes in color, appearance, physical properties, and mechanical properties.
- Data Analysis: The data from the evaluation is analyzed to determine the effects of the aging conditions on the products.
- Reporting: A thorough, detailed report of all data is provided to the client, including explanations of all findings as well as recommendations.
The details and specifications of testing will vary depending on the specific requirements of the test and applicable testing standard(s). Some common factors that are considered when designing an age test include:
- Product Type
- Manufacturing Method
- Product Materials
- Intended Product Use
- Standard Product Operating Conditions
- Regulatory Requirements
