Solar and weathering testing

Solar and weathering testing evaluates how materials and products are affected by prolonged exposure to sunlight, UV radiation, and environmental conditions. By simulating real-world environments, you reduce risk, prevent degradation, and ensure quality and durability before market launch.

Method & testing

RISE use solar simulators and xenon-based weathering instruments to reproduce both natural sunlight and accelerated aging – tailored to relevant standards and customer requirements.

Exemples of tests:

Solar simulation with controlled irradiance (500–1200 W/m²)
Accelerated aging using Xenon-Arc Weather-Ometers
Evaluation of material degradation, color changes, and performance
Testing of components, systems, and complete products

Solar and weathering tests can be combined with climate, humidity, and temperature for more realistic test conditions.

What we test

Electronic and electrical components
Automotive parts and systems
Battery cells, modules, and packs
Mechanical and electromechanical assemblies
Energy and storage systems
Materials, enclosures, and structures
Prototypes and complete products

Vibration Testing for Verified Robustness and Performance

Ensure your product withstands real-world mechanical stresses. With RISE accredited vibration testing, you verify functionality, durability, and resistance to vibration and shock under controlled and reproducible conditions.

Metrology / Service

Mechanical Environmental Durability

With its extensive experience of how vibration affects objects, RISE can help the customer to develop and carry out relevant tests and determine how well a design or object can withstand mechanical stress from the surrounding environment. We offer accredited testing for a large number of standards (IEC, ISO, ASTM, MIL, etc.).

Batteries / Service

Vibration testing of batteries – Battery testing

Vibration testing of batteries is carried out to ensure that batteries can withstand the vibrations they may be subjected to in different applications. This is important to guarantee the safety and functionality of the battery. In some cases, it is necessary to fulfil national and international requirements.

Corrosion Testing for Long-Term Material and Functional Reliability

Corrosion affects lifetime, performance, and safety. With RISE advanced and reproducible corrosion testing, you can verify how materials, coatings, and structures withstand salt, humidity, and aggressive environments, from early development to final product.

Water Ingress Testing for Reliable Sealing

Ensure that your product withstands water, moisture, and demanding wet environments. With RISE accredited water ingress testing, you verify sealing performance, functionality, and long‑term robustness through controlled and reproducible test conditions.

Dust ingress testing for reliable sealing performance
