Ice water shock test for onboard equipment

The increasing trend in the reliability evaluation testing market can be attributed to the recent advancements in electrification and digitalization, which have led to an increase in components and, consequently, an increase in testing itself. Additionally, the growing adoption of new materials such as resin and composite materials is also a factor contributing to the rise in testing. Among these, automotive electronics components are particularly noted for their growing demand, as they are exposed to harsh environments such as temperature and humidity changes, vibrations, heat, water, and dust, necessitating testing under various conditions to ensure proper functionality. The adoption of new components leads to a greater number of parts, which in turn increases the number of testing items. Furthermore, for automotive manufacturers, parts manufacturers, and material manufacturers conducting tests, the investment required to maintain the latest testing equipment in-house for each increasing component and new material becomes a significant burden. As a result, there has been an increase in cases where reliability evaluation tests are outsourced to external testing laboratories. In light of this situation, our company is enhancing and expanding specialized and advanced testing facilities to meet the new testing demands.
