In today's business, the issue of product reliability no longer takes a back seat to anything. Increasingly, both product manufacturer and product user are demanding that more reliability be designed in. It is an across the board demand, spanning product categories of every description. Manufacturers seek to limit liability and field service expenses while increasing levels of customer satisfaction. End users desire extension of a product's useful life and value-for-cost-issues propel their concerns to unprecedented limits. Accordingly, the need for Environmental Simulation/Screening (ESS) testing continues to expand in the design stage as well as the manufacturing stage of product development.
Once largely the province of the military, this form of testing is now a mainstay of many other areas. For example, Automotive SAE, International ISO, Maritime U.S.C.G. and Telecommunications BELLCORE are additional standards that require ESS testing. In addition, both domestic U.S.A. and international regulatory agencies are rapidly adding such testing to their regulatory requirements. Prime examples of this include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAA).
