Our test chambers include:
Temperature cycling can better simulate real life and the effects of humidity may also need to be taken into account in some shelf life studies. Smithers are UKAS, ISO 17025 accredited for:
- High humidity chambers
- Temperature test chambers
- Humidity cycling test chambers.
Temperature cycling can better simulate real life and the effects of humidity may also need to be taken into account in some shelf life studies. Smithers are UKAS, ISO 17025 accredited for:
- High and low temperature testing is in accordance with BS EN 60068-2-1:1993 and BS EN 60068-2-2:1993 respectively.
- Humidity testing is to BS EN 60068-2-30:1999 and BS EN 60068-2-38:1999.
Thermal shock testing
Thermal shock assesses the resistance of packs to sudden changes in temperature. The packs are given a specified number of temperature cycles between a very low and, within a short period of time, an extremely high temperature.
Thermal shock testing is to BS EN 60068-2-14:2000 and the environmental stress testing of machine readable passports as detailed in ICAO Document WG 3TF4 N0232 Version 3.2 is UKAS, ISO 17025 accredited.
