Different product characteristics like functionality or lifetime are strongly depending on the environment. This does not only include the environmental conditions at the operation site but also the specific climatic conditions during shipping and storage. 

 
In our test laboratory we carry out extensive tests in the field of environmental simulation:

 

  • Shock tests (e.g. according to IEC 60068-2-27 )
  • Vibration tests (e.g. according to IEC 60068-2-6/ DIN EN 61373)
  • Shock tests
  • Drop tests
  • Tests during development
  • Transport simulations
  • Temperature and climate tests according to IEC/EN 60068-2 series of standards
  • Temperature shocks
  • Salt spray tests
  • Dust protection according to IEC/EN 60529
  • Water protection according to IEC/EN 60529
  • Flammability tests (glow wire, Bunsen burner, needle flame test)
  • IK code tests
  • Noxious gas, single or mixed gas tests
  • Qualification tests
  • Heat and fire resistance tests according to IEC 60068-2-X series of standards (cold, dry and moist heat from -70 °C to +250 °C)
  • UL raaintests
  • Determination of tracking resistance / CTI value (EN 60112)
  • LV 124 K15 - Condensation and climate test
  • VW PV 2005 Variant A - Environmental cycle resistance test
  • VW PV 1200 - test of resistance to environmental cycle test
  • DANVGL-CG-0339 - Environmental test specification for electrical, electronic and programmable devices and systems
 
Test centre for hydraulic system components

 

In addition, Kiwa Primara tests hydraulic system components: such as tanks, valves and other high-pressure systems used in hydrogen applications, for example.

During the test, we evaluate the ability of the components to withstand the required pressure. The maximum test pressure is 1800 bar.

Temperature, humidity and pressure can be recorded. The test also includes video monitoring and recording. The test medium is water.

  • Accelerated stress rupture
  • high pressure
  • Hydrogen
  • Burst test
  • Valve test
  • hydraulic
