Automotive Durability Testing

It is imperative to test the structure and strength of an automotive product, from its components all the way through to the finished product, to ensure a sturdy, steadfast existence. Intertek performs a wide range of mechanical, electrical and electro-mechanical Automotive Durability Testing—including cyclic corrosion and cyclic fatigue, electrodynamic vibration, solar irradiation, standard corrosion, and more—to both industry-specific standards and customer-specific requirements.

Both materials and development-focused testing is available in order to shape your automotive products into the resilient, powerful assets. Development durability testing includes HALT, FMVT, accelerated reliability options, while materials durability testing features options such as tensile testing, flex testing, izod impacts, charpy impacts and more.
