Thermal Shock Testing
Reliable Performance Under Extreme Temperature Changes
Thermal shock testing evaluates the ability of electronic and mechatronic components to withstand rapid temperature changes without mechanical damage or loss of functionality.
With more than 15 years of hands-on experience in environmental testing and automotive validation, Eifel AQL Engineering specializes in the planning, technical coordination and evaluation of air-to-air Thermal Shock Testing according to IEC 60068-2-14.
Test programs are defined according to the applicable standard, customer specifications and product-specific requirements.
During the development of our in-house Thermal Shock testing facility, test execution is carried out in cooperation with qualified partner laboratories. Eifel AQL Engineering remains your technical point of contact throughout the project — from requirement review and test planning to coordination and documentation.
Our services help manufacturers identify potential weaknesses, evaluate product durability and support reliable product validation.
