ALPHA-Environmental Reliability Laboratory

Is your product as good as you promise? Find out through reliability testing. Increasingly consumers are choosing their electrical and electronic products based on quality and reliability – not just appearance.

Reliability testing ensures a product works as expected in normal and unusual situations. Electrical and electronic reliability testing is your opportunity to gauge a product’s lifespan and identify the causes of failures. Reliability verification will reduce recall risks and costs before entering the market.

At ALPHA we have the experience and expertise to conduct a full range of testing on your products. Whatever your need our global network of testing labs will meet your individual requirements and those of your target markets.

Reliability analysis center services include:

• Single test
• Fixed qualification program
• Test plan tailored for your product
• Life cycle approval
• Product benchmark

Retailers and manufacturers need to be sure all products meet their quality and durability expectations, and those of their consumers.

Reliability calculation and analysis takes reliability testing further. It can yield valuable information and enable manufacturers to predict how products will react in the longer term. This is particularly useful where the life time of a product, or its sheer physical size, cannot be meaningfully covered by accelerated aging testing.

ALPHA uses theoretical prediction and analysis for all manner of products from the smallest items to large scale projects, such as a telecommunication network. As a paper exercise additional factors such as redundancy can be taken into account.

Reliability calculations:

• MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and Failure Rate
• Life Time
• RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety)
• System Availability

Additionally our reliability calculation will include analysis of the effects of possible failures using FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis).

With a global network of Reliability Labs and experts ALPHA is ideally placed to carry out your reliability testing. Our calculation and analysis helps you place only safe products on the market.
